Let's Play Baccarat!Written by Sean Cameron
Baccarat is related to card game of BlackJack, but is even simpler. Popular in Europe, main difference between Baccarat and Blackjack is that not only can you bet on 'player', but also on 'Bank' or a 'Tie'. Experienced players (certainly everyone at www.supabets.com ) never bet on a Tie, as odds are definitely against you here, and if you remember that rule, all you have to do is decide who you think will win a hand, Bank or player. In simple terms, you are betting against cards themselves, NOT other players or Bank.This means you can ignore what other people around table are doing, and focus solely on your own hand, which is dealt from a stack of 8 decks (no jokers). To start a game (or when 'Cut' card turns up in shoe), dealer shuffles decks and returns them to shoe, then 'burns' a number of cards equal to value of first card in shoe (sometime shoe itself is called 'Bank'). The player to right of Dealer now gets Bank, and can hang on to it as long as Bank wins. If Bank loses, it passes to next player on right. Bets are placed before each player receives any cards.
| | About consumer creditWritten by Jakob Jelling
If you do not understand consumer credit, you will be far more likely to misuse credit, and ruin your financial situation. That is why subject of consumer credit is so important.A lot of people get their first experience with consumer credit when they get their student credit card. This is where their study of consumer credit begins. Credit card users need to be knowledgeable in credit terms such as APR, rewards, balance transfer and cash back. You can also get department store cards specific to one brand name store. A department store card has its pros and cons. A lot of offers are advertised if you sign up for a card, such as discounts and free gifts. However APR on these consumer credit cards is often considerably higher than most regular credit cards. When you are a consumer of credit you need to know your legal rights so that you can protect yourself. For example if you are being hassled by collectors, you should be aware of Fair Debt Collection Act, which lays out rules that limits actions a collector can use to retrieve his money.
