How Live Baccarat plays
The dealer deals two cards to the Player and two cards to the Banker.
You bet on which hand will score higher, or if they will tie.
Card points:
- Aces: Count as 1 point.
- 2 to 9: Count at face value.
- 10s and Face Cards: Count as 0 points.
- If total points reach 10 or more, only the last digit counts (e.g. 7 + 8 = 15, which counts as 5).
The three main bets compared
| Bet Option | House Edge | Payout | Commission | Strategy Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banker Bet | 1.06% | 1:1 | 5% standard fee | Smartest choice |
| Player Bet | 1.24% | 1:1 | 0% fee | Good second pick |
| Tie Bet | 14.36% | 8:1 | 0% fee | Poor odds (avoid) |
The Banker acts second, so it wins slightly more often.
A 5% fee on winning Banker bets balances this math advantage.
How to read baccarat roadmaps
Baccarat tables show past hand grids called roadmaps:
- Bead Plate: Shows every past hand (Red = Banker, Blue = Player, Green = Tie).
- Big Road: Groups wins into vertical lines to show winning streaks.
- Derived Roads: Show if the shoe is streaking or chopping.
Past hands do not change the math odds of the next hand.
