James Bond famously popularized this elegant card game, giving it an aura of sophistication and mystery.

How to Win at Baccarat

You only have to make one decision: bet on the Banker, the Player, or a Tie.

Cards two through nine are worth their numerical value, aces are one, and face cards count as zero.

• You can bet on the ‘Banker’ hand even if you are the player
• The Tie bet pays out big but has terrible mathematical odds
• It is one of the easiest games to learn on the casino floor

How to Bet Smart in Baccarat

Because you cannot influence the cards, strategy in baccarat revolves entirely around which bet you choose.

Statistically, the Banker bet wins slightly more often than the Player bet, making it the safest option.

Never fall for the temptation of the Tie bet, as the massive payout hides an incredibly steep house edge.
