Baccarat is the casino game with the smallest house edge, and therefore can be a very profitable game for the player. The game is very simple and the player can only bet on the outcome of the game, without interferring in the game. This is why baccarat is a luck game and the only strategies that can be applied here are betting strategies.

There are three types pof bets in Baccarat: Player, Banker and Tie. The Tie bet is not good in terms of house edge, so the only recommended bets are the Player and the Banker. The Banker bet has a 5% commission, but still has the smallest house edge (1.06%). The Player bet has a house edge of 1.24% while the Tie bet has a house edge of 14.44%. This is why it is recommended to bet only on the banker, for optimal probabilistic chances.

It is important to understand that previous rounds results will not affect the future results, so keeping a record of the outcomes will not give you any advantage. There are players who keep notes of the results, but in reality this will not help them at all.

A player can apply different betting strategies. There are two betting systems that are very popular among baccarat players:

Avant Dernier (Before last) strategy involves betting on the second last winner. The strategy works very well when the winner is alternating or when there are long winning streaks.

Follow the Shoe betting system is very simple. The player should bet on the last winner. This system favorizes long streaks on both Banker and Player side.
