Baccarat Strategy Guide

Baccarat is a simple game with only three betting options. The Banker bet has the lowest house edge, making it the best bet mathematically.

Key Facts:

  • Banker bet: ~1.06% house edge (best bet)
  • Player bet: ~1.24% house edge (second best)
  • Tie bet: ~14.36% house edge (avoid)
  • No skill involved - purely a game of chance
  • Commission on Banker wins pays for the lower house edge

Despite the commission, the Banker bet is statistically the best choice. The Tie bet should be avoided due to its very high house edge.
