Tips for Winning at an Online Baccarat Game

.


Socialization remains a vital part of human happiness and wellbeing. Nevertheless, socializing does not solely mean meeting people in person nowadays. With the spread of coronavirus and enhanced technology, socialization has now also moved to online platforms. If you love games and want to host the best virtual game night, all you need is to get the best reliable casino, then invite your friends to join.

There are several reasons to choose an online casino over a land-based one. One of the leading reasons is the chance to access an almost endless selection of games because the space is unlimited. Most people associate online casinos solely with slot games. Nonetheless, card games are also good options for anyone looking to win big online. Baccarat is the most popular card game online.

Baccarat is a fascinating game invented by Felix Falguirein in the 1400s. It uses 3-6 standard 52-card decks shuffled together and then placed on a dealing machine known as a shoe. All you do is bet, then sit back and wait for the cards to decide your fate. The croupier deals you two cards and two cards to a banker, all facing up. Your goal is to guess which hand will have a hand that is as close as possible to 9.

The leading reason for the rising popularity of baccarat is the chance to quickly grow your bankroll, take your game to the next level and raise your winning odds when you have the right playing strategy. Here are strategies for winning in online baccarat.

Opt for the Banker’s bet

There are three bets in baccarat; the Banker, Player, and Tie. The default choice for most baccarat players is the Banker bet. The theoretical odds of winning this bet is 45.84% though some game versions place it at 50%. The theoretical house edge with this bet is 1.06%, and the payout percentage is a whopping 98.94%.

Assume the casino uses the eight standard 52-card deck. Tie bets will pay at 8:1, the Player bet has a 1:1 payout, and the payoff for Banker bets will be even minus 5%. This means the Banker bet loses 49.32% and wins 50.68%, while the Player bet loses 50.68 and wins 49.32%.

Most casinos have a 5% commission for winning Banker bets to level the playing field. However, the bet still has a favorable winning percentage over the Tie and Player bets. With these numbers, you have the highest odds of winning with the Banker’s bet.

Set your win and loss limits, then stick to them

Like all good things, even a winning streak can end. This is why you should have win limits in a round of baccarat. The limit protects your bankroll and sharpens your winning strategy. Since all baccarat bets have a house advantage, you will likely lose after some time, even on your lucky day. This necessitates being disciplined enough to stop when you attain your win limit so you can protect your profits. The same is true for losses so that you do not lose too much money.

Break down your bankroll

With the many games in an online casino, it is almost impossible to stick solely to one game when you want to win as much as possible. Each game should have its own bankroll to ensure you do not overindulge. If, for instance, you have $200 for baccarat from a $1000 bankroll, leave the table when your balance hits $800. You can go further and have a fixed timeframe for baccarat with a set bankroll and win or lose limits. By setting limits, you keep your happy brain chemicals in check so that you do not end up making poor decisions when you feel invincible.

Do not wait for the end of ‘’cycles’’

Some baccarat players might suggest that you wait for the Player or Banker to lose before entering a cycle. According to them, this will theoretically boost your odds of winning. Nonetheless, this is not a verifiable fact. You need not wait for the end of a winning streak for the Player or Banker for you to enter a game. Putting too much meaning into winning or losing streaks might actually lead you to make bad decisions.

Take advantage of bonuses

Nowadays, online casinos have attractive bonuses to attract the highest number of players. You can get a casino with a welcome bonus that starts your baccarat game by doubling your bet. Take advantage of bonuses to maximize your odds of winning and the amount you win. Note that some bonuses are not cashable, so you cannot withdraw them. Others require you to deposit an amount that might be more than what you plan to bet. Always read the bonus terms to be sure what you are getting works in your favor.

Do not rely too much on card counting

Most players at land-based casinos count cards to boost their odds of winning. Nonetheless, the process takes too much time to practice and learn. Moreover, the benefits are so small that they are not worth your time. When playing online, remember that counting cards will not work. This is because the decks will be shuffled after every deal.

Play with fewer decks

You might assume that playing with as many decks as possible increases the odds of winning big in baccarat. Nonetheless, fewer decks have lower variability of their potential cards. As such, you have better chances of picking a winning hand when dealing with fewer decks.

With all the above information on online baccarat, you might wonder what strategy will guarantee you a sure win. As it turns out, none of the strategies above is better than the others. Just take your time to figure out the game, know what works best for you and reduce the house’s edge. Do not focus excessively on winning or losing because this will only leave you stressed. Loosen up and enjoy the game. When you enjoy baccarat, the winnings seem almost effortless.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
