Played baccarat this afternoon for the very first time in an actual Vegas casino. I won about 200 bucks. The dealer was friendly and the pace of the game was enjoyable.
This explains so many old comedy scenes I've seen where there's an ignorant player who finds himself at a baccarat table (Archer comes to mind) and the character has no idea why they're suddenly up or down thousands of dollars but just LOVES the excitement around them.
Mini bac is like playing roulette with only black/red bets. If you can't make the side bets, you are at a much larger disadvantage to winning large money.
My foolproof strategy for winning at Baccarat - Eat a huge bowl of pork & beans and broccoli about 20 minutes before you play. Start letting 'em rip about 10 minutes after the game begins and that table will clear out damn quick. You're welcome.
Good video - however I disagree that $10 minimum tables are easy to find (perhaps at an electronic table, but not at a table with a dealer) $25 seems to be more typical during my last visit to Vegas.. even at the Rio !
Great video!! I was amazed at how popular this game was when I visited Macau. Quick question, in some old 007 Bond movies there was a version of Baccarat that he plays where he touches the cards and actually chooses whether to hit or stand (Kinda like blackjack). Is this some weird European version of the game?
Good question! In baccarat the casino represents both the dealer and banker bets. In those James Bond movies he was actually playing Chemin de Fer. It is similar to baccarat, except in Chemin de fer the players bet against each other rather than against the house. One player at the table needs to act as the banker, but each player, in rotation has a chance to be the banker (or pass on it). The players also have some leeway as to whether or not they want to take a third card. I believe that the casino makes its money by taking the 5% commission on bank bets. So, in Chemin de Fer when Bond won his bets he was winning his money directly from the bad guy rather than from the casino. I guess that made it more personal? And, of course, Bond always won so the bad guy always wanted revenge!
seems like a good one for the Martindale strategy. Start low and double your bet every time you loose to recover loss. quit as soon as your up one bet LOL.
I do this but add 1 so you're always making money when you win not just breaking even. It gets you to that max bet much sooner though. In the end you always lose everything.
Excellent video to explain how to play Baccarat. I will try out this game besides Black Jack in Vegas next time. From the video, a 5% commission paid to the house for the banker hand win and not for the player hand win. But the house edge of the banker is 1.06% which is lower than 1.24% of the player. Without going through the math analysis, I guess the rule is a slight favor for the banker hand to win. Am I correct? Thanks in advance.
Hi.. Your video is the best i did found here bud i need just sone explamatio .ñ. Can you pls explain me more about what you mean with what you mention at min 6:40 and 7:30
I also say the same for pai gow, it is a great game for someone wanting the "table game experience" if they don't know any games. 1. There are a lot of pushes and 2. If you don't know what to do you csn show the dealer and they will set it the house way
I've been trying to get an answer to this, how did Phil ivey get an advantage by "card sorting"? he was supposedly knowing what the cards were coming next, it's not like you can take a "hit" in baccarat, the cards could be face up and it doesn't change anything, also in the old Bond movies it does seem like he does actually call for a card,
You can win at baccarat as long as you don't play that much Have a target of 2-5 units max or target 1-3% of your bankroll.. If you will do that is very hard to lose but not impossible..
@@mikewallace3046unit equals whatever your base bet is. If you’re bettin in increments of $1, $5, $10 etc. So if you start with $10 bet, want to win 10 units you’ll have won $100. Key to anyone table game is a big bankroll and start with small bets, have a small goal, and have a stop loss.
huh? so you can only ever win ONCE with that logic.... Basically you are saying you must win within your units, and once you come out on top, you never can play again.
@@doright8355 that is patently false. The banker has a slight edge in the way the rules are set. Without the commission, you'd actually have a positive expected return, not 50-50...
I enjoyed the video but wish you would have talked about the popular side bets. I assume they are sucker bets, but I wish you could have explained what they were and what the odds on those bets are.
We have an article on our website where we discuss those side bets - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/baccarat/baccarat-rules-understanding-ez-baccarat.html
I was hoping you'd mention that the only "winning" banker hand is a push, the 3-card Dragon 7. I was also hoping you'd mention that some mini bac tables offer the side bets of Panda 8, Dragon 7 and Tie with house edges on them.
I also was looking for learning the side bites but can’t find anywhere to actually learn about the odd or payout of these. I was wanting to know if Mikki played these type of bets.
Understanding how to play Baccarat is beneficial, but it's important to recognize that the game has a fixed house edge that cannot be overcome by any strategy. Betting systems won't alter the odds, so consistent long-term profits are unlikely.
Is Baccarat the best game to play a single large bet if someone wants to do so? What I mean is, let's say I want to play 1 big bet... we will say $2,500. We might think that Blackjack is best with it's house edge around 0.5% if played correctly on a table with good rules. However, with Blackjack you can get hit with a hand where you need to double or split. Roulette is simple, but with it's high house edge it doesn't seem to be the best "single bet" game. Playing a pass line on Craps seems like another worthy contender. Somehow I think the Baccarat "banker" bet might just be the best overall single bet play. Does anyone have any insight on this?? Cheers, VT
I mean your BEST bet would be to find a casino with like 10x odds on the craps table and make a $200 bet and then put $2k behind it in odds but you could be stuck there a while waiting for the shooter to hit the point. Baccarat would be a good idea though if you just want to get in and out
Removing games of skills, like texas hold em or black jack, then yes, this is the BEST game, math wise for luck to the SLOWEST at :) Blackjack is also pretty darn good if you know how to play a perfect game, but you still slightly lose. unless you do count cards and they don't cut the shoe early all the time :) Blackjack perfect game is very hard to learn, but can be a fun challenge to do, and if you like numbers, math, and still enjoy the act of gambling, knowing you will lose. Then i go for learning a perfect game, as long as you NEVER gamble and follow the rules, you will BARELY lose, and i fyou can start to count cards properly, and play along enough, you can stat to SLIGHLY win.
Here in Northern California, 3 Major Indian Casinos Do Not have Baccarat tables! “Win River”, “Rollinghills”, & “Calusa” Casino. What’s Up With That? Last Month Rollinghills casino Had 2 virtual reality, dealers machines. I got interested & was learning the side bets Tie, 9/7 card win, The 8 , etc. banker or player paid 1 to 1 , very fun at a chance. One weekend Rollinghills took out the 2 machines, not happy. They opened a lounge with a large screen Rollet Table and had about 8 seats in 2 rows. It was different & lost money learning how to navigate the side bets because they had lions and tiger symbols. And no 3-D virtual reality dealers , I wasn’t there for a month I showed up with my wife and while she was playing some slots I went over and found Rolling hills took out all the baccarat machines. I’m gonna have to send suggestion cards and ask them to put in a live baccarat table with a live dealer, that’s all I can do! I’m beginning to love baccarat, and now I can only go online to play, which I’m not sure if it’s controlled because it is video form with a dealer rather than a live dealer, I don’t know if there’s any difference because programs are more superior for casinos to make money. Please let me know if there’s a difference between live dealer and 3-D video online baccarat dealer play. Thank you
You don't need to pay the commission right away! You must pay it at the end before leaving the table, This is how it usually works: Dealer will place your commission value on a circle in front of you corresponding to your seating order. Dealer will keep adding to it every time it is due. You may continue to make bets as long as your other chips total that you are not betting with is greater than the total of the commission that you owe the house. When you are done playing and before leaving the table, you must pay the dealer the total commission that you owe the house. Got it?
the rules of when the player/banker take the hit. That why the banker is more likely to win. They also act 2nd, so have the better decision since they have more knowledge. So banker more likely to win, thus to counter this out, you pay the 5% fee when banker wins, and you bet on banker. Just like all games, it is a very simple X in Y changes of winning, but this is another step in the process that causes people to get hyped up, and think they can find some winning method for winning :) If you want to play, you always bet on banker and you will lose slower
For those of you wondering what the banker does if the player doesn’t draw a third card, the banker will go by the same rules as the player for determining when to draw. As an example, for the first two cards, if the player shows 7 and the banker shows 5, the player will stand and the banker will draw a third card. I hope this helps.
that is basically every gambling game, in a nutshell. It is X:Y ratio of the odds of you winning or losing the round.... even slot machines follow this, they are just a lot of flashing lights, buzzers and steps in between to get people hyped up and make them THINK they can win.
I watched a lady play... She bet Player then Baker for a while, She was loosing about 80% of all of her bets... I suggested to her that she only bet one side for an entire shoe, if she selected correctly , she may win more than lost, but certainly will not loose as much.

Baccarat! Mister Singh wins!

This has been a very tough game to learn how to deal for but once I got better I really enjoy it

How many decks in a round ?
Do you pay commission on every win or only on wins when you’ve chosen the banker’s hand?
Only on the banker hand.
@@TheJackpotGents Great video. Very informative. I had no idea how to play baccarat until watching this.

Nice Strategy
What about player pair and banker pair?
Loved this
Haha. Thank you for the honest winning advice: "you have to get lucky"
Always!
I was wondering whether you could place an equal bet for banker and player… just in case you didn’t know for that turn.
You still lose if the banker wins. Banker collects 5% commission for every win.
If the 5% wasn't in place. The game would be a 50/50 chance.
@@doright8355 that is patently false. The banker has a slight edge in the way the rules are set.
Without the commission, you'd actually have a positive expected return, not 50-50...
What is the purpose of the commission? So, you win and you have to pay the casino?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
EZ Baccarat and Golden Frog Baccarat make people go crazy.
There are so many bonus bets.
Outstanding Video!!
Does counting (blackjack style for the face cards) do anything? How many decks in a shoe?

You are correct. Thanks!
Why when the player drew a 7 with a 5 was the total 2??
@jayo2675 there are no values over 9. If it goes over 9, you drop the 1 at the front. So 10=0, 12=2, 13=3, etc
Ahhh ok. Thank you for clarifying

You don't need to pay the commission right away!
