Well the casino would like you to think that. That’s because baccarat has such a low house advantage. There are only 3 wagering choices available at baccarat and 2 of those come with the best odds the casinos offer. Bet on Player and the house edge is just 1.26%. Bet on Bank and that edge is even lower at just 1.16%. The third wager is a bet on a Tie and that carries a house edge of 14.36%. With odds as low as they are on Player and Bank however, it is in the casino's best interest to try and attract high rollers. The truth is anyone can play baccarat and now many casinos offer “mini” baccarat tables with lower table limits. If you can find a game it is a very good choice. It is also about the easiest game to play. You only have two choices to make. How much to wager and on which hand, Player or Bank. Everything else is automatic with no further decisions necessary by the players.
Last -- and deservedly so -- is roulette
I say deservedly because of the games I’ve described roulette has the highest house edge. At just over 5% it’s not the worst game in the casino but it’s not as good as those above. Just stick to the even money wagers here. That would be: Odd, Even, Red and Black.
Throughout this article I have stressed making only wagers that carry a low house edge. I have also given you a couple of wagering methods that give structure to your play. The object is to try and help you avoid the wild emotional swings that can come from casino play. Remember, the percentages always hold true and they favor the casino. From that, comes the secret I have spoke of. Do you know what it is yet?
Quit When You are Ahead.
Once you have won money you are not playing with their money. It is now your money! Don’t give it all back. When your luck changes don’t fight it. Just pocket your profits and walk.
