I need help. I don't have the ability to calculate the impact on Margin for the following variation.
If even money is paid when the Bank wins with a natural 9, what decrease in house edge is there?
I have looked at the variations shown on the Baccarat pages within Wizard of Odds, I have found a table that shows the Probability of 2 card totals: a nine has 0.094903, does this cover both Player & Bank?
thanks

For 8 decks I get a player ev of -0.006282455 . Regular baccarat is -0.010579058 . That reduces the house edge by 40%. (Of course my usual disclaimer about brainos and/or typos.)
