II. Baccarat, Mini-Baccarat: Mathematics, Probability, Odds, Tables
The following is a brief but sound presentation of the mathematics of the game of baccarat. The game of baccarat is very close to a fair game, as far as the house edge (percentage advantage) is concerned. It may be the fairest game in the casino, alongside poker. The casino may not care who the winner is. The casinos make a profit by charging the winning side a commission. In baccarat, the winning side is, statically mathematically, the Banker. If the gambler bets on Banker and wins, the casino gets a 5% commission.
You may want to print the following tables for your reference. They say the gambler never needs to learn the rules of baccarat, because the dealers know the game very well and apply the rules very accurately. But, just in case, you may want to apply the Reagan-Gorbachev approach to conflict and understanding: "Trust but verify!"
• Tens and figure cards are counted as 10. All totals above 10 or multiples of 10 are adjusted by deducting 10 or multiples of 10. For example, if the first two cards are Jack and 10, the total = 10 + 10 = 20 = 0. If the first two cards are King and 8, the total = 10 + 8 = 18 = 8 (the small natural; a show stopper). Mnemonically, only the last digit is significant. 17 is 7, 23 is 3, 29 is 9. The maximum possible is 30 (three 10-valued cards). The Italian origin of the game of baccarat describes it well: Baccara means the "little berry", hence a metaphorical expression of "zero". Baccarat is not French in origin, although the French were the first to make it a casino game (chemin de fer = railroad).
• Player always plays first.
|
• If either Player or Banker
has a natural 8 or 9, the opposite hand CANNOT draw a 3rd
card, regardless of value. A natural 8
or 9 is an automatic stop. |
