Egalite Bets in Baccarat

Introduction

The egalities are side bets in baccarat on specific ties. For example, a final score of 7-7. They are most likely to be found at casinos in England.

Rules

 

The bets and pays can vary depending on the casino. At some casinos you can bet on all ten possible ties, from 0-0 to 9-9. At others, they group the ties into groups. I list some specific bets I've seen below in the analysis section below.
