The baccarat table has seven numbered positions on each side of thetable. The number 13 is skipped, so the numbers reach 15 at most games. At each position there are three bets. The Tie bet positioni is usually above the baccarat Banker and Playerbets. The rules of Baccarat determine whether a third card can be taken, butin the end, the winner is the hand with a total closest to nine.
Tens have no value and when the total of the cards is more than nine,the left hand digit is dropped.
For instance, in baccarat, Eight and Sevenequals Five, because you drop the ten-count of the true total of 15. Theonly other bet that a player can make in baccarat is the Tie bet. It isa 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 theBanker or the Player loses and the casino pays the bets that were placed on the tie for that hand only.
