在百家乐押注平局，一直是争论的焦点。它是一个不错的选择，或者是一个坏的赌注？

　　有些人认为任何赢得赌注都是很好的。你可以去进一步说，任何获胜的赌注，你挑选8至1则特别好。这不是一个无聊的事情。如果你有这种感觉，则会获得和局，你会得到幸运，那么你一定会得到很好的回报，为自己的直觉。和局赌注，赢得支付8倍，其实是一个大吸引力。

　　另一种方式来看待押注平局的更多的数学方法。每一个有经验的赌徒知道在任何赌场百家乐的庄家和玩家投注是两个最好的赌注。这意味着相比其他一些桌上游戏，赔率是堆放在您的青睐。当我们谈价值时怎样押注平局？和局肯定是不一样好的，因为赌庄家或玩家会比较有益处。事实上，即使你获得9比1的赔率，你仍然会得到更好的相对于银行家或玩家。

　　那么，这一切对于百家乐游戏来说意味着什么呢。

　　首先考虑所有经验丰富的狂热的百家乐专家。这些玩家往往有更多的钱，并在赌桌上用巨额赌钱。他们往往主要投注庄家和玩家，和局的比较少。

　　当谈到更多的玩家，那么和局是一个更有吸引力的选择。你可以有30手牌，但在一排上可能都没有和局，然后你可能遇到一个在连续的三个或四个和局赌注疯狂的序列。如果你幸运地砸在连续的三个或四个和局，每次您按您的赌注，那么你可以获得一笔不小的收入。这一种策略，更可能是一个休闲玩家，赌桌是一个可以在相对较短的时间内获得成功的地方。

　　记住，你有一个好时机享受自己。如果你喜欢艺术的预测时，和局要输了，那么有什么能够阻止你。要知道，如果你在投注和局的时间，它是会形成昂贵的长期一贯的习惯。

　　还有一种情况在押注平局时显得极为重要，那就是在百家乐比赛快要结束时。百家乐比赛，最后一手的和局是很戏剧性和最关键的。这可能是比上述所有的牌放在一起更重要！几乎每一个可能的情况下都会发生，设置正确的最后战略涉及和局的赌注。和局的赌注没有赌庄家或玩家的严重局势，可以是一种有效的方式，在你遇到一个很大的优势对手时。

　　不过，我们会跟你料在后来的世界游戏问题上，这跟我们给你制胜的百家乐比赛有关。

　　It’s TIE time!

　　The tie bet in baccarat is something that has always been a bone of contention. Is it a good bet or is it a bad bet?

　　Some would argue that any winning bet is a good one. You could go further and say that any winning bet that you pick up at 8 to 1 is particularly good. This is not a silly thing to say. If you get that feeling that the next hand is going to be a tie and you get lucky then you certainly get well rewarded for following your instincts. The fact that winning tie bets are paid at 8 to 1 is a big part of its attraction.

　　Another way to look at the tie bet is with a more mathematical approach. Every experienced gambler knows that baccarat’s banker and player bets are two of the best bets in any casino. This means the odds are stacked in your favour compared to some other table games. So what about the tie bet when we talk about value? The tie is certainly not as good a bet as the banker or the player. In fact even if you were to get odds of 9 to 1 you still would be better off mathematically with your money on the banker or the player.

　　So what does this all mean to baccarat players? First of all let’s consider experienced high rolling baccarat experts. These players tend to have more money at their disposal and play huge amounts of hours at the table. They tend to bet mainly on the banker and player and less on the tie.

　　When it comes to the more recreational player then the tie is a far more attractive option. You could have 30 hands in a row without a tie but then you could have a crazy sequence of three or four tie bets in a row. If you are lucky enough to hit those three or four ties in a row and you press your bet every time, then you could turn a small investment into a small fortune. This kind of hit and run strategy is more likely to be successful for a recreational player who is at the table for a relatively short period of time.

　　Remember that you are there to enjoy yourself and have a good time. If you enjoy the art of predicting when the tie is going to fall then there is nothing stopping you. Just be aware that if you get in the habit of betting on the tie consistently over a long period of time it is going to get expensive.

　　There is another situation where the tie bet becomes exceedingly important, at that is at the very end of baccarat tournaments. 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 dramatic situation of playing a one-hand tiebreak playoff （the equivalent of sudden death in a football penalty shootout）， a tie bet with no bet on the banker or player can be a sneaky and effective way to get a big edge over your opponent.

　　However, we will speak to you about that in a later issue of World Gaming when we give you the pro’s secrets to winning baccarat tournaments
