How should one judge the merits of a tie bet in baccarat?

"Standard baccarat odds: Player (P) 1 to 1; Banker (B) 0.95 to 1; Tie (T) 8 to 1; Player Pair and Banker Pair both pay 11 to 1.

Many players avoid betting on the ""Tie"" because the probability of a tie occurring in baccarat is quite low despite the high 8 to 1 odds.

Is betting on the Tie in baccarat a good or bad choice?

You could argue that winning any bet with an 8 to 1 payout is worth considering. If you have a strong feeling that the next hand will result in a tie and you're feeling particularly lucky, following your intuition could lead to a significant payoff.

The allure of an 8 to 1 payout for a tie is hard to resist.

Another way to look at betting on the Tie is from a mathematical perspective. Experienced players know that betting on the Banker or Player in baccarat offers some of the best odds in any casino game. This means that statistically, the odds are in your favor when you bet on these options.

So, what's the value in betting on the Tie? Well, betting on the Tie isn't as good as betting on the Banker or Player. From a mathematical standpoint, those are still better choices.

For recreational players, however, the Tie can be tempting. Sometimes, after not seeing a tie for 30 consecutive hands, you might witness three or four ties in a row. If you've placed bets on the Tie during this time, your potential return could be quite substantial.

This strategy can work well for players who aren't planning to stay at the table for an extended period. If you're at the casino for entertainment and enjoy the excitement of guessing when a tie will occur, then go ahead and place your bets.

Just remember that if you habitually bet on the Tie for long periods, it could end up costing you more in the long run."

I feel that high-odds propositions are generally less reliable.

It's still important to learn from the original poster.
