How it works
You bet before the deal. If the Player hand ends with the higher total, you win 1 to 1: bet $10, win $10.
If the Banker wins, you lose the bet. On a tie your bet pushes: it comes back, with no win and no loss.
The name is just the name of the hand. You are not the Player, and you never make a decision once the cards are out.
