In certain parts of the world, baccarat is a staple game for bricks and mortar casinos. At online casinos, live baccarat is probably the most popular form of the game that is played by experienced and new players alike.
Wondering how to play live baccarat? We’ll tell you. The good news is that playing the live version of the game is no different to playing a regular online casino or real life version, the only difference is that you’ll be able to see the real life dealer via video live stream.
The first thing you need to do is place your bet. You can place one of three bets in baccarat, a bet on the Player (you), the Banker (dealer) or tie. This means you place your bet on the outcome of that particular round in the game, before you receive your cards. Two cards are dealt, first to the player and then the banker alternatively, the one with the closest score to 9 is the winner. If your score is over 9 i.e. an 8 + 7 = 15, then the second digit is counted and your score would be 5.
Unlike blackjack, in bitcoin live baccarat, the rules are clear on when a third card can be drawn. For the banker, a third card is drawn if neither hand equals 8 or 9. For the player, a third card is only drawn when the total is between 0 and 5, unless the banker has 8 or 9 and wins the hand anyway.
All players can apply strategies to increase the chances of winning and live baccarat is no different. One of the most popular strategies is one that can be applied to lots of different casino games - the Martingale System. This strategy sets a stake limit for your bet and, when you lose a hand, doubles it for the next hand until you win again. Once you win, you go back to your original bet and go again. This can be useful for beginners, but beware as it can be costly if you go on a losing streak.
Another common strategy that crypto live baccarat players use is the Paroli System, which is pretty much a direct opposite to the Martingale System. In this strategy, you double up your next bet each time you win, and reduce it back to the original bet after a loss.
This is much more conservative than the Martingale System and will allow you to manage your losses much better.
A more complex way of managing losses is the 1-3-2-6 Strategy. This is another popular system used by baccarat players that is designed to obtain maximum returns while also keeping losses to a minimum. The way this works is that you begin with your average, or “unit” bet. If your first bet wins, you multiply your next bet by 3, if that then wins, you multiply it by 2, if you win again you multiply your next bet by 6. Then you revert yourself back to the original bet amount.
