• Baccarat offers three betting options: the banker and player's hand plus a tie. The banker and player's hand offer a similar house edge; therefore, betting on either hand can bring similar winnings.
• The less card decks used in a game, the better your odds.
• Bet on a tie occasionally. Although a tie is less likely to occur, the payout is worth the bet. Ties typically payout 8:1.
• If the total of the initial dealt cards is eight or nine, the player or banker automatically wins - this is classified as a natural hand. Only a natural nine can beat a natural eight hand.
• You need to draw if your card total is less than six or seven.
• The banker always draws on a total from zero to two. A card total of three initiates the banker to draw, but only if the player draws an eight on the third card.
• The banker can draw on a card total of four, but always stands on a total of seven.
