Mar 12th
In part 1 of Baccarat Gambling we learned the game and rules, now it’s time to look at how you can win!
In part 2 of Baccarat Gambling we will examine the odds, best bets, and some strategy. The important thing in baccarat gambling, as in any game of chance, is to win and collect money.
Here we show you how, and Baccarat gambling can become very profitable!
Baccarat is played with 6 or 8 decks of cards and chances on a hand dealt from a full shoe of 6 or 8 decks is as follows:
With 6 decks a banker can win 0.46, a player 0.45, and a tie 0.09
With 8 decks a banker can win 0.46, a player 0.44, and a tie 0.09
The casino will take a commission on the winning Banker hand (either 4% or 5%) and payouts on tie bets (8:1 or 9:1). This yeilds the following casino advantages:
With a 6 deck shoe, and a 5% commission the advantage on a banker bet is 1.056%. With a 4% commission it drops to 0.6%. On a player bet is 1.24%. On a tie bet with 9:1 odds its 14.93% and on 8:1 odds its 14.43%. An 8 deck shoe yields the about the same advantage.
Forget card counting, as the casino will shuffle after each play. Also there is not much in the way of strategy, as the game follows so many automatic rules.
Common Sense Strategy
Never bet on the tie. The odds are overwhelmingly in the house’s favor Also, as the bank will win in the end, why not bet the banker’s hand. Even after paying the commission, you still have odds in your favor. So bet with the bank.
Look for games that use the 6 deck shoe, and has a 4% commission. You might find this a bit boring, but it works and you will win.
Play and Loss Management
You know now the best bet, but not how much to bet. This is also important. In Baccarat Gambling, it is crucial.
You must decide to have self-control. A majority of players often wager more than they can afford to lose. Don’t be one of them. Follow the three simple rules below:.
1. Before you start Baccarat Gambling you MUST decide how much you are going to loose. Write it down, stick to it. That is your limit.
2. Budget the money you have and allocate just so much to each round of play
3. Each time you win, allocate a percentage to the opposite pocket. Leave it there. Don’t deviate and that money is out of play. A smart player will put ALL of a winning hand out of play.
For example you have decided $1,000 to wager and to lose. You will bet the game betting the table minimum (let’s say $50). Put your winnings as per rule 3, out of play, After the 20th round you’ll only have played the $1,000, However, the money out of play, your winninng are waiting for you.
This strategy works for Baccarat Gambling, and is the strategy of the winner. If you leave with only small winnings, you are a WINNER.
You must remember that. Forget it, spend you winnings, don’t follow your strategy, and chances are you will leave broken and a loser.
Baccarat Gambling can be profitable and fun, but you must be disciplined and strong.
Winning at baccarat gambling is easy if you follow the above advice – good luck!

Roulette Strategy: Learn How to Beat the Casinos
Mar 12th
Anyone who has ever had the chance to play roulette will know by now that roulette is purely a game of chance. There is no skill involved in the game at all. Although there are a number of different options for betting on roulette, the average payout is the same no matter what option you choose. However, there are a number of roulette betting strategies that people have employed over the years.
The most widely employed roulette betting strategies are variations on the Martingale betting strategy. In basic terms this strategy involves making even money bets and doubling your bet each time you lose. This way the next time you win you’ll recover all your losses and make a profit equal to the original bet. While you can make a short term profit, this system can only result in loss in the long term. After only five consecutive losses your bet would have to be 36 times your original bet. Lose again and it would be 72 times. As you can see you can quickly end up in deep water. Also the potential winnings are not high in this system. For instance, if your original bet was £10 and you lose five times in a row you’d have to bet £360 on the sixth spin of the wheel. If you win you’ve only made £10 profit. If you lose then you’ll have to bet £720 on the next spin and you’d still only make £10.
Another method, described by an editor of the New York Times, Andres Martinez, is to divide your bankroll in to 35 piles. Then make a ’straight up’ bet on the same number 35 consecutive times. If your number hits then you win back your original bankroll. If your number doesn’t come up then too bad. It can take a long time to spin the wheel 35 times and this method can be a lot of fun. You might get some odd looks at first but it won’t be long before other players are putting bets on your number. The cheer that will go up if the number hits will raise the roof. Unfortunately there is only about a 60% chance of any one particular number coming up in 35 spins of the roulette wheel. It’s a good way to have fun but a bad way to win money.
Albert Einstein apparently said, “You can’t beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.” However, there have been a handful of roulette players throughout history that have beaten the game with a system that works regularly. The systems that they used are based on the fact that roulette tables are not perfect and minor deviations in the angle it tilts or if it becomes slightly unbalanced can effect where the ball lands. This means that on certain roulette tables the ball is slightly more likely to land in come pockets than others. If you can work out which numbers these are then you might have a slight edge. Unfortunately most casinos have wised up to this and re-balance their wheels frequently.
Perhaps the first person to do this successfully was an Englishman called Joseph Jagger who hired six people to secretly monitor the roulette wheels at the Beaux-Arts in Monte Carlo in 1873. They watched for about two years and discovered that one of the tables showed a clear bias in that some of the numbers came up more frequently than the rest. Jagger placed his bets accordingly and allegedly won US$300,000 in three days.
The casino tried to throw him by relocating the wheels, but when Jagger noticed that a telltale scratch on his favoured roulette wheel was not present on the table that now occupied its place he sought it out. He found it and began winning again. In the end the casino resorted to dismantling the wheels and rebuilding them every day. By this time Jagger had won an absolute fortune and left Monte Carlo for good. The story goes that Jagger invested his winnings in property and died a very wealthy man.
