[LilianInThaHouse]

I'm definitely not too much into table games, but sincerely hope that some of the fellow members who are huge fan of those will soon jump in and help you with decent advice.

Of course LilianInThaHouse, I love even bets games, but I love fairness even more, so let's begin.

 

1. I think it is more likely you get fairness from live dealer game than electronic game if you're playing table games, so I think live dealer games here would be the choice.

 

2. Craps game has even odds but as it exists the possibility of implanting magnets into dice (under coloured points), so I will discard this popular game as suitable choice.

 

3. The other game you asked for was "Baccarat", what seems to be the best choice for those players no in pursuit of some jackpot in a casino, and the reason of this is baccarat is one of the games whit the lower edge for the casino, the another ones would be blackjack, craps, and few others I have been not interested so far, but if we are playing online we are susceptible of being cheated, which is harder in baccarat because of the escence of the game. The house edge in baccarat is this way:

* Banker hand: 1.06%

* Player hand: 1.24%

* Tie bet: 14.36%

 

For obvious reasons you will never bet on tie.

 

At first glance baccarat seems to be a very complicated game, but it is all the contrary, basically all you must to do is bet on player or bet on bank, and if you win you will receive even money if your stake was to the player or even money minus 5% if your bet was on banker, as in this example:

 

 

BET ON BET VALUE ($) WINNING ($) TOTAL PAID ($)

PLAYER         1                     1                 1 + 1 = 2

PLAYER         3                     3                 3 + 3 = 6

BANK             1                     0.95            1 + 0.95 = 1.95

BANK             3                     2.85             3 + 2.85 = 5.85

 

 

Unnecessary to say what happens if you lose

 

Who wins? : It wins the upper hand closer to 9 , taking in mind 9 is the maximum number, results above counts only last digit (eg, if 13 , net value of hand is 3, if 10 so net is 0 and so on).

 

Every card is counted by its own value, except 10, J, Q, and K which are counted by zero, this way:

 

1= 1

3= 3 ...

10= 0

K= 0

 

Initially 2 cards are dealt to player and 2 to banker, and because of baccarat rules a third card may be automatically drawn to player and/or to banker hands. These 3th card rules are what scare new players because they are so many, but as you must not take decisions about it, this shouldn´t worry.

 

Example of a hand:

 

Player: 3 + Q + J = 3

Banker: 4 + 2= 6

- - - - BANKER WINS - - - -

 

IMPORTANT: Only choose those live dealer software providers that shuffle cards in front of you (in front of video camera, better ) , patterns will be given by luck, I prefer this instead of pre-shuffled ones.
