The game of baccarat can be played with 6 or 8 decks of cards and the probability distribution for a hand dealt from a complete shoe of 6 or 8 decks is as follows:
<TABLE class=grey cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=3 border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#cccccc><TD># of decks</TD><TD>Banker wins </TD><TD>Player wins</TD><TD>Tie</TD></TR><TR><TD>1 deck</TD><TD> </TD><TD> </TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR><TD>6 decks</TD><TD>0.458653</TD><TD>0.446279</TD><TD>0.095069</TD></TR><TR><TD>8 decks </TD><TD>0.458597</TD><TD>0.446247</TD><TD>0.095156</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
The casino's commission on the winning Banker hand (4% or 5%) and payouts on a tie bet (8:1 or 9:1) implies the following house advantages:
<TABLE class=grey cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=3 border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#cccccc><TD># of decks</TD><TD>Banker bet 5%</TD><TD>Banker bet 4%</TD><TD>Player bet</TD><TD>Bet tie 9:1</TD><TD>Bet tie 8:1</TD></TR><TR><TD>1 deck*</TD><TD>1.01%</TD><TD> </TD><TD>1.29%</TD><TD> </TD><TD>15.57%</TD></TR><TR><TD>6 decks**</TD><TD>1.0558%</TD><TD>0.5972% </TD><TD>1.2374% </TD><TD>4.9313%</TD><TD>14.4382%</TD></TR><TR><TD>8 decks </TD><TD>1.0579%</TD><TD>0.5993% </TD><TD>1.2351% </TD><TD>4.8440% </TD><TD>14.3596%</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
What gets you here is the number of hands per hour also. Where knuckleheads can slow a bj game to a crawl deciding what to do, this is auto deal. You can write the results in blue, red, a fuckin purple crayon, it does not matter. Counting is useless. No way to turn positive expectancy here.

Good point, drunken obnoxious players just don't hang at the back o rack tables. Plus you get to play with colored pens/crayons. All that and some comps. Still waiting for the way you turn this table game into + exp. I would prefer how I beat it to I just win stories.
Ok Newbie..All I have are I just win stories...dont know wow I win at this game but I have my own stratagies that work for me. If I told you those stratagies and you dont play the game you would think I am crazy...but hey different strokes for different folkes.
Here is a link to another I Win Story...knock your self out.

I was under the impression this was a forum to share winning strategies? Good information. You can beat baccarat but I can't tell you how is little benefit to this newbie. In fact, I would say it is counterproductive. If you cannot show me how you turn this into a + EV then you are merely on a positive variance. Which you can also acheive at Bingo, the lotto and other games I would never play. Nevermind, you are the best baccarat player I have ever heard of.
I am truly happy for you.
I am truly happy for you.
Uncle Sam I am...why dont you go f*#* Off
I guess I have been +EV for 5+ years...wow you think I am the only one. Get a life dude....you seem to have other problems than just my response to your posts...I suggest you get laid or get some good weed and STFU. Life is too short to be worried about someone else and the way they make $$. Find your own way to make $$ instead of relying on other people to share their winning strategies and HELP you make $$.

I am sorry. Being a newbie I thought I could ask you how in the world you could achieve a +EV, especially on a game that does not have one, as far as I know. So I asked if you could share how and promptly get told to get fucked. Thank you for your time.
Would +5 years qualify as a long haul?
same here...and as i mentioned but got ripped by Illini...do you also notice some jackass's playing but aching to give their cash away? I see this ALL the time i play and they make the best fades i have ever seen, they will be broke in a matter of mins, so why not profit by doing the opposite of them...
