Baccarat Commission Math
Calculate standard baccarat commission, effective Banker payout, and theoretical cost while keeping commission and no-commission rules separate.
Standard banker
Banker wins slightly more often than Player because of the drawing rules, so a commission is normally applied to winning Banker wagers.
Rounding
Small-denomination tables may round commission or track it until settlement. That operational detail can change effective return at particular bet sizes.
Commission-free is not free
Alternatives usually change a specific Banker outcome, such as a three-card seven or six. Analyze the replacement rule rather than the marketing label.
Worked commission example
At a conventional 5% commission table, a winning $100 Banker wager produces $100 of gross win before commission and $95 of net win after commission. The returned $100 stake is not profit and should not be added when computing expected value.
Why rounding matters
A table that tracks exact commission and settles later can differ operationally from one that rounds each winning hand. Record chip denomination, rounding rule and when commission is collected before comparing effective returns.
What to verify
- The stated commission rate.
- Whether commission is rounded per hand or accumulated.
- Whether a no-commission exception replaces the fee.
- Whether the quoted edge uses initial wager or resolved action.
