Question

How do I quit while ahead when gambling?

Community Answer

Make up your mind before you start gambling that you will stop at a certain point. For example; if you would be happy with $1000, make that your point and as soon as you reach that number, quit.

Question

What should I do about card counting?

Community Answer

You can't count cards in Baccarat. Most casinos use eight decks, making card counting useless.

Question

Is progressive betting a good idea?

Gary Kidgell

Community Answer

I use progressive betting, usually starting at $50, then $100, $200, and $400. It's very important to control after $400. Your next progressive bet would be $800 to make money back, plus $50. If you bet on banker, your commission is $40, so your profit is only $10 -- not worth the risk. If you do proceed and lose the $800, you're in the hole $1550 -- too much to come back in the shoe or even another game. It's best to stop at $400 when progressive betting, or start at a lower denomination, like $10 or $25.

Question

How do I know the next winning hand?

Community Answer

It's very easy. The easiest way to know the next hand is not to try to approach the casino at all.

Question

What are the dragon and panda bets on some baccarat tables?

Gary Kidgell

Community Answer

Sucker bets designed to avert your attention away from the true pattern of the shoe. By the time you hit one you have spent more money than you get back.

Question

How many players are needed for a game of baccarat?

asfaf as

Community Answer

There are 7-14 seats for players, depending on the version of baccarat, and a dealer's area. No matter how many players are seated, only two hands of cards are dealt: the player's and the banker's. Players don't get their own cards; each has their own betting area.

Question

What happens if I'm dealt two face cards in baccarat?

Community Answer

All face cards count as zero, so if the other side is dealt a hand under 8, then you would receive your third card.

Question

Would 100 hands suffice to prove or disprove a betting strategy?

Community Answer

Of course not. In statistics, whether flipping a coin or baccarat, each event is completely independent of the previous event. That's why so many people lose so much money playing progressively. My software gave a value of 2,500 to 7,300 hands required for things to 'even out' , depending on how many shoes are in use.
