the online baccarat table has seven numbered positions on each side of the
table.the number 13 is skipped, so the numbers reach 15 at most games. at each position
there are three bets. the "banker," the "player" and the tie. the tie
bet positioni is usually above the online baccarat banker and player bets.
the rules of online baccarat determine whether a third card can be taken, but in
the end, the winner is the hand with a total closest to nine. face cards and tens have no
value and when the total of the cards is more than nine, the left hand digit is dropped.
for instance, in online baccarat, eight and seven equals five, because you drop the
ten-count of the true total of 15. the only other bet that a player can make in online
baccarat is the tie bet. it is a side wager that is usually placed along with a banker or
a player bet. when a tie occurs, the two hands end upwith the same total. neither the
banker or the player loses and the casino pays the bets
that were placed on the tie for that hand only. there's lots more to know and several
online baccarat systems that are touted as being the best. once again an application of
the fundementals and some patience are the best tools. see books on online baccarat.
