player's hand if the initial two cards, have a total of zero to five the player draws a third card if the total is six or seven the player stands next the Banker's hand action depends on what. just happened in the player's hand when. the player's score was six or seven and, they had to stand the banker will take a. third card if their score is between. zero and five the banker will also stand. if they have a score of six or seven, when the player drew a third card if the. banker has a score of zero one or two they will also take a third card if the bank has a score of three four five or. six the banker will take a third card. only if the player's third card was not. an eight with a score of seven the, banker also stands after these. predetermined rules are played out the. hand with the highest score will win, remember the highest score possible is. nine because we lose the tens digit, should the score go into double figures. if the scores are the same the player. and Banker bets push and the tie bet. wins now let's have a look at the, betting options available and how much. you can expect to win there's only three, bets available in the original game of baccarat some casinos might offer side, bets but for the purpose of this video we'll just focus on the Three core bets, of the game the player the banker and, the Thai the player bet pays even money, and when considering the tie this bet. will win roughly 49 of the time with, this in mind the house Edge is around 1.24 percent. if you're unsure what I mean by the house Edge I've made a dedicated video to that topic which I'll link in the, description betting on the Banker's hand also pays out even money but a five.

percent commission is usually charged on. winning bets due to its statistical, Advantage with the player hand winning, 49 of the time that means the banker bet. will win the remaining 51 of the time. with the five percent commission, considered the house Edge on the banker, bet is 1.06 percent betting on a tie has the highest payout of eight to one but, has a huge house edge of 14.4 percent if, you're playing baccarat I would highly. recommend staying away from this bet as. an ex-casino manager I've seen many players at the back of a table declare. they have a strategy that will make them. a winner some win but most lose here's. my advice when playing the game the. banker bet does have a slight Advantage with a slightly lower house Edge than the player bet over time there will be more Banker wins than player wins but of, course the five percent commission means, this bet pays slightly less even with this commission statistically speaking. you're more likely to be a winner with the banker bet than you are with the. player bet avoid the tie bet and any. other side bets your casino is offering, you the side bets are just another way, for the casino to try and take more of your money and they normally have a high, house Edge lastly if you're wanting to, play Baccarat online I recommend finding, a casino you can trust with a great, welcome offer if you'd like to see our recommended casinos to play bakura you can find a link in the description for. more details if you found this video. helpful please give it a thumbs up and. share it with a friend for more great, content on how to play casino games. subscribe to the channel thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next, video
