All bets at baccarat must be made before any
cards are dealt. The player can bet on either the bank hand
or the player hand. The more the player wins on bank-hand
bets the more the commissions mount up. The house makes its
profit every time you win a bet, not when you loose a bet,
not when you loose a bet. Of course, if a player has a lucky
streak and wins more hands than probability dictates, he will
show a profit. But if he wins exactly the number of hands
dictated by the laws of probability, it is the house that
will end up ahead, not the player, due to the five percent
commission.
The casino can deman payment of these commissions
due at any time it wishes. In practice, commissions are collected
at the end of each shoe while the cards are being shuffled.
if a player leaves the game before the shoe is finished, he
must pay his commissions before leaving.
