Come vincere a Baccarat

Che cos'è il Baccarat?

Many gamblers enjoy playing Baccarat at casinos. The game is similar to Blackjack, where players take turns being the banker. The dealer uses three or six decks of 52 cards, shuffles them together, and deals from a “shoe.” There are two or three rounds of betting, followed by the dealer giving two cards to each player and one to everyone else. Face cards and 10s are worth 0, while other cards have their index value, but only the last digit matters. For instance, a hand with 8 and 5 is worth 3, not 13. The hand that is closest to nine has a higher chance of winning.

Varietà di Baccarat

Baccarat offers several variations, both in land-based and online casinos:

1. Chemin de Fer: Popular in Europe, particularly France, players can act as dealers and play against other gamblers.
2. Mini Baccarat: A fast-paced game with the dealer handling all actions, played on a small table. Popular among casual players.
3. Baccarat a 3 Carte: Played with a 52-card deck, three cards are dealt to dealers and players. A hand with three face cards is the best, followed by a 9. The number of face cards decides tied hands.
4. Punto Banco: Similar to Mini Baccarat, but with three dealers instead of one.
5. Baccarat Banque: Players play independently, with the bank acting as a player. Players can challenge the banker and become the banker for a round. Similar to Chemin de Fer.

Mini Baccarat is the most popular, as it’s accessible to all players with low minimum bets. For beginners, it’s a good starting point, but other variations can be explored too.

Regole del Baccarat Spiegate

Baccarat is easy to learn. Players bet on who will win: Banker, Player, or a Tie. The game starts with two hands, Banker and Player. Face cards and tens are worth 0, other cards have their face value, except Aces, which are worth 1.

Esempio: Banker gets 10 and 7, Player gets 9 and 3. Banker wins with 7 points (10 counts as 0), while Player has 2 (12 counts as 2).

A natural win occurs when the first two cards equal 8 or 9. A third card may be drawn based on specific rules if neither hand has a natural win.

Regole del giocatore per pescare una terza carta:

Mano del giocatore	Azione
Vittoria naturale (8,9)	Nessuna carta estratta.
6 o 7	Nessuna carta estratta.
0 a 5	Draw a third card, unless Banker has a natural win.

Regole del banchiere per pescare una terza carta:

Mano del banchiere	Azione
0, 1 o 2	Draw a third card, unless Player has a natural win.
3	Draw a third card, unless Player’s third card is an 8.
4	Draw a third card, unless Player’s third card is 0, 1, 8, or 9.
5	Draw a third card, if Player’s third card is 4, 5, 6, or 7.
6	Draw a third card, if Player’s third card is 6 or 7.
7	Stand.
8 o 9	Vittoria naturale, nessuna carta estratta.

A tie bet pays out 8:1 or 9:1, with no winner or loser. The dealer handles all rules, so no need to memorise them. The hand closest to 9 wins.

Top 10 Baccarat Betting Tips to Improve Your Winning Chances

1. Evita le scommesse pareggiate

2. Goditi il gioco
   Stop playing when it’s no longer fun; there’s no shame in walking away.
3. Scegli la tua scommessa con saggezza
   Consider your desired outcome when choosing between banker and player bets.
4. Opta per Meno Mazzi
   Fewer decks in baccarat can provide benefits, such as easier tracking in-person and lower variance online.
5. Ignora le Serie
   Don’t overvalue winning or losing streaks as they can lead to poor decisions.
6. Conteggio delle Carte: Non Consigliato
   Card counting requires extensive practice and knowledge and may result in being banned from casinos. It’s also ineffective in online baccarat.
7. Imposta un Budget
   Allocate a budget for bets to maintain control and prolong enjoyment.
8. Bet on Banker
   To maximise the 1.07% house edge, consistently bet on the banker instead of the player.
9. Fai attenzione ai Giochi senza Commissione
   No commission games adjust banker bet pay-outs, resulting in a higher 4.08% house edge compared to the usual 1.05%.
10. Abbraccia la Fortuna
    Acknowledge luck’s role and avoid fallacies like “near misses” or the “illusion of control.”
