What’s up with Baccarat? (Part 1)

March 6, 2007

This highly informational 4 part online gambling article will cover just about everything you will need for event want to know about playing baccarat at online casinos or at land based casinos throughout the world.

One thing we have to say right off the bat is that while this is the game of choice for all those massively rich casino whales out there, it is a game that all levels of players can play. It is one of those the more you bet the better games in the casinos and that is probably why big spenders and the high rollers love the game. After all, these are the players that have the bankroll to bet the big time wagers. This casino game is not only located in the high roller, high limit areas of the casinos on land. When online gambling, you will find it immediately as well – and the limits are not out of control there either. Those things being said - do not go betting more than you can afford on this game with the premise that doing so will win you a pile of cash either.

Why baccarat? Why not play craps or some other casino game? Because this casino game is quite simple to play that’s why. It offers no serious challenge to the adventurous mind. It is tempting to call baccarat a game like slots almost – no real thought has to go into this game. So, why do the high rollers play this then?

Let’s go over a few things to see here. How do high rollers become high rollers? Where they always wealthy? Are they lucky (but stupid)? These are probably not the reasons. In fact, most high rollers know what they are doing after all.

High rollers like this online gambling casino game and playing it in casinos because this casino game has the lowest disadvantage to the player. If you are going to bet a huge amount of money like one hundred thousands dollars on one hand of a card game, wouldn’t you want to be playing the one casino game that has the beast chances for winning? Yes you would. Baccarat is that game as far as best chances go.

Consider this, say we (me and you pal) are high rolling gambling buddies. We each have five million dollars to gamble with. That is our budget – our bank roll. Say you prefer roulette. More over, you like to wager on individual numbers on the roulette table that is. The casino advantage (even when online gambling) on single numbers is 5.26%. This means that if you gamble your entire five million bucks you could expect to lose about two hundred sixty three thousand buckaroos. I on the other hand, like to play baccarat. I also have the five million dollar budget remember. More over, I like to wager on bankers. The casino average on bankers (even when online gambling) is about 1.2%. This means that I can expect to lose about sixty thousand buck if I gamble all of my bankroll. Do you see the massive difference here? This is why high rollers do what they do. At least the smart ones that is.

So, you could expect to lose $263,000 on your casino game of choice based on this budget and I only stand to lose $60,000 on the same budget. What is there to really consid3r here right?

Playing this game

There are only 3 player choices when playing this game at casinos around the world or even when online gambling at online casinos. 1. You wager on the banker’s hand. 2. You could wager on the player’s hand. 3. You can wager on a tie. Seems easy enough does it not? What’s more, the tie wager is pretty useless and a bad idea – so you could consider only two options really – but you have 3. The player wager pays 1 to 1 (even money). The banker wager pays 1 to 1 (even money) as well. That tie wager – it pays 8 to 1. Ties are extremely rare and that is why it pays better and also why it is a poor wager to make.

But even though this online gambling gem is easy to play, most gambling fans still think that you need millions to play it (and a big brain). It is one of those table games you see in casinos and even online (but more so visually) and you think, oh I need to have big bucks to play…the game look aloof and that makes it deceiving to most passers by.
