Betting in the game of Baccarat is just probably
the easiest part of this overall easy to understand game. When betting, you
have 3 choices: Player, Bank or a Tie. You have to bet before any cards are shown
on any of the 3 options provided. You do have the right to bet on the Bank!
The payouts if you win are the following: If you
bet on the Player, you will get a 1 to 1 payout. Meaning that if you bet $50
on the Player and the Player wins, you will get $50 as win and your original
$50 back. So, you basically doubled your wagered money. When betting on the
Bank, the payouts are also 1 to 1, with the small exception, that you have to
pay a 5% commission back to the bank.
The reason therefore is that the Bank does have a statistical advantage
over the Player. It is important to know that in Brick & Mortar casinos, this
commission will be paid at the end, right before you leave. Therefore, make
sure that you always have enought money to pay this commission when leaving.
When playing Baccarat online, this commission will automatically be deducted
from your winnings and you can gamble with as much money as you have in your
casino account, without having to worry about the Baccarat commission for the
bank. Payouts when betting on a Tie are usually 8
to 1. For each dollar wagered, you will get $8, plus your original $1 should
the Tie happen. But, eventhough the Tie has highest payout, it is the worst
bet on the table. For more information on odds, please visit our
