5 tips for success in Baccarat

Playing baccarat is very simple, but there are a few little tricks you can use to increase your chances of winning.

Baccarat doesn’t have the popularity it deserves. It’s quite similar to blackjack, but easier to play and for some, even more fun.

1. Bet on the banker or the player, never on the tie

Ok, the word “never” is very extreme. The truth is that betting on the tie could win you up to eight times more than you can win on a banker or player bet. However, the odds of winning are much lower in comparison. So if you want to go for something safer, the banker and/or the player are definitely your best bets.

2. Don’t always choose the same thing

For example, if you just bet on the player and won, don’t stay there just because you got lucky that one time. The odds of you winning twice in a row at the same place are small, so it’s best to move your money elsewhere. This is just in case you win. If you lose your bet, you can place a new bet on the same option and your chances of winning will be higher. You can even alternate your bets between the player and the banker each time you win.

3. Place more than one bet

If you find yourself in one of those dilemmas where you have no idea what to bet on, bet on everything! Or at least the options that catch your eye the most. You can try it with little money at the beginning, just try to make all your bets different amounts of money so that when you win you don’t lose more than you win and you don’t “draw”. A good option is to always bet a little on the tie (because it tends to give bigger prizes) and, at the same time, place a bigger bet on the player or the banker.

4. Choose tables with fewer decks

In land-based casinos, baccarat tables usually have 4 to 8 decks of cards in their shoes. If it is possible for you to know which of them have fewer decks, always choose them. Remember that the fewer cards, the easier it is to get an idea of what your odds are.

5. Don’t be afraid to imitate

Although baccarat does require skill, luck is also an important factor in this game. So if you’re at a table and you notice that someone else is doing very well, do the same! Don’t care if others notice you’re following them. You could start earning as much as that person, or at least put an end to their hot streak. Who knows? Maybe you are the next destination of fortune.
