Methodology and trust

What the calculation includes

Player, Banker, Tie, and Banker-win-with-6 probabilities were enumerated without replacement under standard baccarat third-card rules. The model distinguishes ordinary 5% commission from a no-commission version that pays only 0.5:1 when Banker wins with 6.

Source: Nevada Gaming Control Board Live Baccarat rules and paytables. The cited version uses eight decks, pays Player 1:1, Banker 0.95:1, Tie 8:1, and describes Banker-6 half-pay in no-commission mode.

Method version: 1.0.103
