Baccarat has long been associated with high rollers, tuxedo-clad spies, and extreme exclusivity.

However, modern online casinos have made this incredibly simple game accessible to absolutely everyone.

How to Win at Baccarat

The goal is simply to bet on which hand will have a total point value closest to nine.

If the total exceeds nine, the first digit is dropped (for example, a 7 and an 8 equals 15, which becomes 5).

• 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

The Best Baccarat Betting Approach

The mathematical approach to this game is completely focused on the house edge of the three available bets.

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.
