Hello to all you new baccarat players! I am, probably such as you guys, a big online baccarat fan. It is, no doubt, a fun and exciting game, which gives you a lot of entertainment and an opportunity to win money. But how can you win any money without knowing the basics of the game?
Well, I guess you do know the rules of baccarat, but still, there are a few tricks which you should know when you play. I wasn’t aware of them myself up until recently, but after a friend told me about them, my gaming has drastically improved. So here it goes.
First of all, remember that in baccarat, the casino takes a commission every time a player wins a bet that is placed on the banker side. This is because betting on the banker has an inherent 1.06 percent advantage. Bets are paid at 0.95-to-1. Second, for any total over nine, only the last digit is taken. For example, a total composed of a six of clubs and a six of diamonds is two. If the player or the banker has a total of eight or nine, it’s called a “natural” and automatically wins - unless the other hand also has a natural, in this case the two hands tie. So remember these two simple rules and you will play much better!
