Blackjack Strategy Banker Rating: 3,6/5 5868 reviews

Rules & Strategy Winning at Blackjack. Like many of our favorite casino games, the exact origins of blackjack are forever lost to history. One of the first recorded descriptions of the game places its appearance in France during the 17th century, where it thrilled gamblers under its simple, yet appropriate appellation “vingt-et-un.”. Banker bust strategy Here is the story. I never play blackjack because i don't know the drawing rules, and i heard that others will curse and swear at you, if you make a wrong draw or stand decision. I have a friend working as a dealer told me that baccarat is not a bad game if i don't want.

How to Play EZ Baccarat

EZ Baccarat is a variation of the popular casino game Baccarat. It follows exactly the same format in terms of gameplay and features just 2 small differences.

Baccarat Player and Banker Bets. When it comes to the game of Baccarat, there are two factions to choose from. The first is the Player, the second is the Banker. Like Blackjack the objective is to hold a higher value hand than you opponent. Unlike Blackjack, there is no way to go Bust in Baccarat. Blackjack players have to memorize basic strategy and then manage their bets very carefully to do this well. Craps players have to limit their bets and then use a very sound money management strategy to keep the house edge under 1.5%. Baccarat players in a sense have it made. All they have to do is bet on either Player or Banker. The first two cards are counted in a particular way, and under specific conditions, both the Player and Banker are allowed to ask for a third card. The house edge on the Player’s hand bet is 1.29%. Bet on the Banker’s hand and you will face a house edge of 1.01%. Betting on a Tie involves a house edge of 15.75%. Most Popular Baccarat Strategy.

EZ Baccarat Rules

In both forms of Baccarat, all Aces count as 1 point, picture cards, and 10’s count as 0 points and all numerical cards count as their face value.

The aim of the game is to guess who will have a higher hand, the Banker, Player or whether both scores will be the same.

Once you have placed your bet, 2 cards are dealt face up for each Player at the table and for the Banker. As in Blackjack, you are playing directly against the Dealer, known in Baccarat as the Banker, and therefore don’t need to worry about other Player’s hands.

An example of the layout of an EZ Baccarat game can be seen above.

There are no further decisions to be made in a game of WZ Baccarat as what happens next depends on the total of the cards for the Player and Banker.

When looking at your total, only the last digit counts so the total for both the Player and Banker is always between 0 and 9.

Blackjack Strategy Banker

For example, if you have a 9 and 5, the total is 14 but only the last digit – so in this case 4 – is used. Therefore it is not possible to go bust and lose the hand as you can in other games such as Blackjack.

Once all players and the Banker have 2 cards, the totals are worked out and the hand continues as follows:

• If wither Player or Banker has a total of 8 or 9, they both stand
• If the Player’s total is 5 or less, they hit and receive 1 more card, otherwise, they stand
• If the Player stands, the Banker hits on a total of 5 or less
• If the Player does hit, use the following table to determine the action of the Banker

Players 3rd card
Bankers Score0123456789
7SSSSSSSSSS
6SSSSSSHHSS
5SSSSHHHHSS
4SSHHHHHHSS
3HHHHHHHHSH
2HHHHHHHHHH
1HHHHHHHHHH
0HHHHHHHHHH

S = Banker Stands
H = Banker Hits

Once the above actions have taken place, winning hands are paid out.

If the Player wins, any bets on the Player are paid out at even money.

Strategy

One of the 2 differences between EZ Baccarat and standard Baccarat is that bets on the Banker are also paid out at even money in EZ Baccarat as opposed to standard Baccarat where a 5% fee is taken.

If both the Player and the Banker have the same total, bets on the Tie are paid out at odds of between 8 to 1 and 10 to 1 depending on the casino.

The other difference between the versions comes if the Banker wins a hand with a 3 card total of 7. In this case, bets on the Banker will only Push and any bets will be returned. Bets on the Tie and Player will still be settled as a loss.

EZ Baccarat Tips

The EZ version of Baccarat is very similar to the main version. The main advantage is that there is no commission payable on Banker bets, therefore, this bet has a lower house edge. It is worth bearing in mind though that if the Banker wins after a 3 card total of 7, the bet isn’t paid as a win but instead pushed which is one way the house gets some of their edges back.

As with all casino games, ensure you play within your means and don’t overstretch your bankroll. Play bets which allow you to enjoy the game for some time as opposed to betting all or nothing.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but darned if I can find it - but which of the above provides better odds for the player?
I've used the calculator on Wizard of Odds for this question and here are the results:
So using basic strategy with the selected parameters vs baac with the selected choices - which is better for the player?
Thanks

First, welcome to the forum.
Second, are you asking if .010579 is greater than .0044686?
It is. The blackjack has the lower edge.
rdw4potus
.0044686<.010579, so blackjack is better for the player on a per-hand basis. Which is better on a per-hour basis would depend on game speed, but I'd be very surprised if blackjack were dealt twice as fast as mini bacc. So I suspect that BJ is slightly better for the player.

You are quite correct as far as it starting out that way. As time, free cocktails and fatique sets in... the data changes a bit. As these influencers exert their effects the accuracy of basic strategy suffers. The BJ dealer may turn out to be exceptionally fast, the player may start to slack off a bit in his rapt attention to the game. Whereas in Baccarat, its so easy to just keep betting Banker no matter how drunk or tired a player may get.

As far as straight betting on banker, I do not know anyone who plays this method.
I can see why so many people here think baccarat is a crashing bore,
If they were to play by that recommended method...
Unless you were also counting side bets, of course,
Which for me is the only reason to play minibac.

... I am often referred to as 'Mr. Banker' for my resolute determination to bet on the most likely result no matter how the shoe is running.
>Unless you were also counting side bets, of course, which for me is the only reason to play minibac.
Do you mean the Tie bets? I rarely bet Tie at minibacc.

Thanks. I guess I'm confused as to which numbers in the baac table correspond with the 'Realistic Result' in the blackjack table.
I was thinking (incorrectly I guess) that the Banker Bet Return value (under Banker) was the one to compare to the blackjack value.
So I was comparing .4468 vs .4356 which had me thinking, why bother with basic strategy at all if baac has almost the same edge with just blinding betting the banker.

BlackjackAh! yes, that is a bit confusing. And it'd be a close call if that were the case. But those numbers correlate to a .4468% house edge in BJ, and a .4356 (43.56%) weighted average return on a banker win (after commission) in bacc.

I see your confusion: the BJ numbers are stated as percentages while the bacc numbers aren't. BJ edge is 0.4468%, bacc edge is 1.058%. In the bacc table, look at the bottom row, not just the return contribution from winning.
