All You Need to Know About the Banker Bet
The banker bet in baccarat is a rarity among casino bets, regardless of whether you’re playing online or offline. That doesn’t make it a profitable bet, though it does have a very low house edge of 1.06 percent.
The house gets that edge by charging a 5 percent commission on winning baccarat bets. If you win a $20 bet on the banker hand, you get $20 in winnings, but you have to pay the house its commission, so $1 goes back into casino coffers.
