With the house enjoying a hefty 14.36% edge, suddenly that 8 to 1 pay for the tie doesn’t look so enticing! This is not to say that you can’t bet the tie from time to time. For recreational players in particular it’s a great way to add a bit of fun and excitement to your session – and who knows? Sit down at the right time and you might just happen upon a sequence of winning tie bets. As you know, luck is all about timing! If you’re there for a good time and simply enjoy trying to predict when the tie is going to fall, then who are we to stop you? Just be aware that if you get into the habit of betting on the tie over a long period of time it is going to get very expensive, very soon. There is one situation, however, where the tie bet offers strategic significance. In baccarat tournaments, the very last hand of the shoe is both dramatic and crucial. It is probably more important than all the preceding hands put together! The correct last-hand strategy for almost every possible set of circumstances involves a tie bet. In the cutthroat situation of playing a one-hand tiebreak playoff – baccarat’s equivalent of a penalty shootout in football – a tie bet with no bet on banker or player can be a sneaky and effective way to gain a big edge over your opponent. We’ll explore baccarat tournaments in greater depth in a future issue of WGM .
