Baccarat Wins 2020!
When comparing Casinoin’s most popular games of 2020, we found that the comparing card game Baccarat was the number one fave! Specifically, Baccarat in the Live Casino. Let’s delve into the beautiful game of Baccarat!
About Baccarat
This comparing card game is played between two hands, the "player" and the "banker". Each baccarat round of play (or coup) has three possible outcomes: "player", "banker" and "tie", which can all be wagered on.
It’s worth noting that there are three variations of this game: punto banco (or "North American baccarat"), baccarat chemin de fer (or "chemmy") and baccarat banque (or "à deux tableaux").
Math and Strategy
A lot has been written about different strategic approaches to winning at Baccarat. A well-known one is the Five-Count Baccarat Strategy. It’s based on the idea that following previous hands will impact the outcome of the next hand. This thinking that “the banker had five wins in succession, so now it’s time to wager on the player” is massively flawed. The fact is that once the hand is played, this has nothing to do with how the next hand will play. It’s like trying to forecast if it will be a sunny day in London on July 23rd 2030!
A lot of people will say, "Bet on the banker every time!" The win probability of betting on the "player" is 44.63%. The win probability of betting on the "banker" is 45.86%. It's easy as 123 to see that we get a difference of 1.23% there!
Baccarat totals can’t go over 9 and bust - they just roll back to single digits. The "banker" and "player" hands will sometimes end up as a "tie". In Baccarat speak, "ties" are referred to as "stalemates". Players have the option to dance a jig with fate and bet on the “tie”, even though the odds of winning are not the best.
In Conclusion
Look, there are plenty of players and “how-to” Baccarat guides that will tell you “Never wager on the tie. Always be boring and bet on the banker every single time.” In terms of math, this is the best approach, but does that deliver on the thrills and spills element?
However you wish to play, a friendly dealer and all the rich atmosphere of “La Grande” game of Baccarat awaits you right now, in Casinoin’s Live Casino!
