BANKER 6 BACCARAT

Caesars Palace has a no-commission table where a banker win on 6 is only paid at 50%. How often does the bank win with 6 ? Is it better to play this game than it is to play regular pay-commission bacarrat

Im not the best math guy here, but Im pretty good.

I calculated the odds of a Banker 6 at 5.39%.

I did it quickly. Hope Im not terribly wrong.

Cosmopolitan has the Banker 6 pays 50%. I don't play this table much, but I think it is any 6.

Station Casinos has the Banker three card 7 pays NOTHING commissionless table.

Once at Station I had a $10,000. bet on Bank, player had a 6 I had a 1 to start. Bank drew a 6 which won the hand for me but I was paid nothing.
That same session I had a $5,000. bet on Bank, player started with a 4 and drew a face card Bank started with a 2 and drew a five and again I was paid nothing.

That's essentially $300,000. in Bank payouts at 5% commission that I paid all at once. And keep in mind that I vary my bet a lot, so it's not like all my bets were 5-10K, but those two happened to be.

After that, I had them change the table when I am playing to regular commission.

Over time, sure, maybe it all evens out but I wasn't going to stick around long enough for that to happen.

In general, if you are betting big, avoid commissionless tables, is my advice.

I was asked to make an appearance here.

I cover these and other forms of commission-free baccarat at WoO.

Im glad to see my math was really, really close!

Some of us have spreadsheets with every single possible combination of cards (ignoring suits) for the player+banker hands in baccarat, along with the probability of occurrence and payout for each hand. It's relatively straightforward to manipulate features of the hands (such as changing to 50% payout on hands where Banker has a total of 6) to analyze specific variations.

^ Yes the spreadsheet can simplified to cards of 0 thru 9, where there are initially four times as many 0's as other cards. Then you work out how often no additional cards are taken, and for other situations add cards 0 thru 9 to either side as needed. Some will have created this list via programming, others using excel. The problem is this is more than 32k lines, so some care is needed; but it is possible. I think my spreadsheet splits it across several sheets.

If it's 5% comission then you're better to play Banker; it's best to avoid Punto Banco 2000, but if you must, bet Player.

The site I usually reference ( https://www.ukcasinotablegames.info/ ) seems currently unavailable, but it would show the same figures as on the WoO page mentioned above.

Hi, where to find the spreadsheets? thank u for replying

It’s the deck composition. Change the 128 to 96 and the 32s to 24 for 6 decks.

hi, one more question for the columns, please help to see if I understood correctly.
P1 P2 B1 B2 D1 D2 P TOTAL B TOTAL PDRAW BDRAW WINNER COMBINATIONS

P total: total point of player
B total: total point of banker

D1 is the point for the first draw card if any. Will be blank if no draws were done.
D2 is the point for the second draw card if any. Will be blank if two cards draws were not drawn.

Pdraw will be 1 if the Player drew a card or 0 if they didn’t.
Bdraw will be 1 if the Banker drew a card or 0 if they didn’t.

Also P1/P2 and B1/B2 are sorted to keep the rows down. If the Players first two cards were a 8 and 6, they will be counted in P1=6 P2=8 regardless of which card was drawn first.
