By: Bob Tharten

Live Baccarat is not hard to play and has one of the highest payouts of all casino table games. Baccarat is one of the simplest ones to understand. It is in fact a simple game and the following winning strategies will help you play baccarat and win!

Nine is the magic number.

Think Nine in Baccarat. The first thing you want to do is create a hand with a total of nine in only two or three cards. Eight is ok, but nine is the goal on the total cards in your hand. The perfect hand would be a hand that has only two cards with the value of the two combined being nine. The second best hand in baccarat is this same set up but with the value being eight. These two hands are referred to as "natural nine" or "natural eight". Here’s the fun part, when one player has one of these "natural" hands then none of the other players may draw a third card. That’s fun isn’t it? This even includes the banker. The player with the natural eight or natural nine wins the hand immedietely. If no other player has a natural eight or natural nine then the players decide to continue the game by continue betting or folding their hand. If there is a tie between two players then the game is voided and nobody wins.

Know your card point values.

How do you get to a natural 8 or natural 9? First you need to know your baccarat point face card values. You can’t win at baccarat if you don’t know the points of each card. This is incredibly important to learn because you can lose quickly by making simple calculating mistakes. if you don’t know what points apply to the cards. Here are the values of the cards. Aces are one point, cards from jack to king are zero points, and all other cards have their face value points.

What happens if you go over 10? Well, it’s important to know as well that if your hand totals more than 10 you simply ignore the first digit to get your point values. So, if your hand totals 18 the score is 8. A natural nine would be only a two card combination 5 + 4, 6 + 3, 7 + 2, and so on and so forth.
Know how and when to bet.

If you really want to win at Live Baccarat you will know how to lose as well. Don’t ever bet on ties or standoffs. Also, if there is a trend then bet with the trend until the trend breaks. Betting against a trend rarely results in winning and when you bet. However, with the trend you can make a lot of money over the long run.
