4 Winning Tips for Playing Baccarat

The rules of the game and the scoring are very simple. It's all about getting a score as close to a "natural nine" or a "natural eight" as possible. If the score is not a natural, then another card is drawn to get the score closer to the natural. If the cards total a score more than 10, then the left digit of the double digit score is dropped and the right digit is considered as the score. If you are playing in the casino and betting money, then you need to be careful and keep some things in mind before putting your hard earned money on the table. The most important thing to remember is not to be taken in by anybody who can give you a magic winning formula. If such tricks existed, then the casinos would all be broke.

Tip 1

Gambling is a risky business, based purely on luck. A game like baccarat is a game of fortune, nothing much to do with skill. So, be careful with your money. If the tables are playing on very high stakes, then back off. There are other better and safer ways of earning money. Also remember not to push your luck too hard, if you are on a winning streak. If you can make a decent amount, then take it and leave. Do not wait until your lady luck deserts you, taking all your money with it. When you step into decide the maximum amount that you can afford to lose and stick to that decision. Do not get tempted to play for more than this money. The trick in winning while gambling is to know where to call it quits.

Tip 2

In baccarat, you can either bet on the banker, the payer or on a tie. The chance of a tie is rare. The odds against one of the players winning are always better than a tie in most cases. So, don't waste your money on an unlikely tie. Choose a definite party to bet on. Also, while betting, begin with small amounts. Don't begin playing with high bets. Start low and if luck seems favorable, then increase the amounts gradually. Luck is an important thing in baccarat. So, test your waters before plunging in completely.

Tip 3

Look for casinos where the house charges are less. Although the standard commission's charges by the casino are 5%, there are casinos where the house charges are lesser than this. If you look around, you will find places with commissions as low as 2.75% to 4%. Playing is such casinos will automatically increase your take home money, as there will be less cutting on the tax.

Tip 4

Although it is still a risky gamble with not much logic, betting on the Bunco will always prove beneficial to you. Study the winning patterns of the game. If you can find a pattern, follow it. If you don't, then bet on whoever won before last game. Also, if you find the same party repeatedly for more than 3 times, and then bet on the other party for the fifth time. It is very unlikely that the same party will win 5 times in a row.
