Poker players that play baccarat (2 Viewers)

Any trends or winning baccarat strategy that folks would like to disclose?

I don’t know Baccarat but since it’s a casino game I assume that the best any strategy can hope to achieve is reducing the EV- as close to zero as possible. But can never be EV+. Unless there is a Black Jack card counting type thing for Baccarat as well. But in that case I also assume that casinos don’t allow it.

That's not what Phil Ivy thinks.....

Just stay away from the game…….. I have had many nights where I grind out a win from 10 hours of poker and on the way out incinerate that and more in 10 minutes. Game is awesome when you win but the stupidest game on the planet when you can’t pick right.

There aren't "bad" decisions in the game. Its all -EV, but the house edge is low and the player can't make the risk worse with bad decisions like they can in black jack.

A better choice if you want to drink due to no critical decisions. A downside can be higher minimum bets. I find the game to be slow very boring unless the bet sizes are way outside my comfort range, where it becomes terrifying.

You aren't beating this game over time. The house edge is inevitable.

You can't win in the long run, just like the casino wants the game to work -=- DrStrange

Odds are better in baccarat when compared to stupid triple-0 roulette.

I don’t touch table games like that. But there seem to be a lot of poker players who also play craps.

Betting on the banker is the best odds. Still a loser though (obviously).

And they withhold 5% on winning banker bets, don't they?

craps is a volatile as hell game, but if you take the free odds bet(s) (and why •wouldn't• you?) you significantly reduce the house edge ... in some cases the to under 1%

Yeah, the banker is ever so slightly favored over the player, so they take 5% to still make it a bad bet.

Problem is it's hard to find a craps game on the strip under $25 per bet. So if you want to maximize your odds you're betting $25 +$75 to $125 behind the line on each go. Don't even get me started on crapsless craps either...

Definitely my favorite table game though. Way more fun than blackjack/baccarat/roulette imo

From what I know he made his edge on rebates and private deals with the casinos, and not from the game itself.

Oh he was certainly getting paid from edges, that’s for sure.
