What is the optimal betting strategy in Baccarat when the Player and Banker hands have different odds of winning?

[Huego213]

The optimal betting strategy in Baccarat is to bet on the Banker hand, taking into account the commission on wins. When the commission is 5%, the strategy is:

1. Bet on Banker if the true odds are above 50.68% (no commission) or 50.45% (with commission).
2. Bet on Player if the true odds are below 49.32% (no commission) or 49.09% (with commission).
3. If the true odds fall between these ranges, the optimal strategy is to not bet at all.

With its smaller house edge and better odds for players, the Banker bet is the best option when it comes to betting strategies. The house edge on the Player bet is 1.24%, marginally higher than the 1.06% house edge on the Banker bet.
