You will receive tips and advice from anybody who ever played the
baccarat game. Everybody who lost or won believes he/she is an expert. Listen
to them all, express your thanks and keep you own counsel.
But there are after all some ground and basic guidance that it is recommended
to pay attention to. Maybe not to win offhand, but not to lose too much.
Getting ready to go to the casino
Leave your checkbook and credit cards at home.
Take with you only the amount you are ready to lose.
Do not change all your money at once against chips. Divide it in two or three
lots. If losing, the temptation of going on is not as strong as it would be if
you had all the money on the table.
At the casino baccarat table
Don’t drink alcohol. One glass of champagne usually provided by
the casino will do. You have to keep your wits and your power of concentration.
Choose a table with the least number of decks in the shoe.
Start betting low in order to see how your luck is shaping up.
Avoid betting on “tie”. Though returns are higher, the odds are not.
The casino commission being picked up at the end of the game, try to keep track
of the sum you owe; put it aside; don’t use it to bet.
Allow a break from time to time. Go wash your hands or have a sandwich at the
bar.
There is no sure pattern in this game. So, using score pads is to no avail.
It only distracts you.
Each deal has its own chances. It will not affect the next one.
Remember that you are betting on someone other’s luck. Your bet will not affect
the winning or losing hand.
Sit anywhere you want; you are not playing against others. You are playing with
them.
If your will is strong enough fix the time you are going to play, check your
watch and keep to it.
