Three Types of Bets

The player is responsible for making one decision:

1.     Betting on the Bank winning.

2.     The player winning.

3.     And/or the tie.

• Player position carries a house edge of 1.36%
• Dealer position carries a house edge of 1.17%

Basically, as you can see, the dealer's edge is a little better. It is a fact that the dealer will always come out ahead. However, keep in mind, the player just doesn't know exactly when the dealer will take all. This depends on the method of your play. If and when ahead it is a good idea to walk away.

• Use some math and consider the amount of decks used in play.
• Find tables that offer the lowest decks in play.
• Lower decks result in the casino raising the odds in favor of the players.
