Probability of a Win at Various Mid-game Stages

Introduction

This appendix shows the probability of a banker, player, and tie win at various mid-game stages. All probabilities are based on eight decks.

After Two Cards

In big table baccarat there is a break between the player's first two cards being exposed and the banker's first two cards. The following table displays the probability of each possible final outcome based on the player's two-card total, and on an 8-deck game.

After Five Cards

The next three tables display the probability of each possible final outcome given the totals after the first five cards are dealt, assuming a sixth card is forced, based on an 8-deck game. A blank cell means the situation is impossible.
