Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules
Punto banco is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below ten are worth face value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the total of the cards, but the beginning number is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a score of 1 (five plus six equals eleven; dump the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card can be dealt based on the following rules:
- If the gambler or house gets a total of 8 or 9, both players hold.
- If the gambler has less than five, she hits. Players stands otherwise.
- If the player stands, the house hits on a value lower than five. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to see if the bank stays or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19 to 20 (equal cash less a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out when you depart the game so ensure you still have funds remaining just before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays out at 8:1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a poor bet as ties occur lower than one in every ten rounds. Avoid wagering on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 versus eight to one)
Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer gives generally good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Scheme
As with all games baccarat banque has a few established misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future actions. Recording past outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most common and definitely the most favorable course of action is the one-three-two-six technique. This plan is deployed to maximize profits and limit risk.
Start by wagering one chip. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a grand total of 3 units on the second bet. If you win you will retain six on the game table, pull off 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd wager. Should you come away with a win on the third bet, add 2 on the four on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th round.
If you lose on the 1st round, you take a hit of one. A profit on the initial bet followed by a loss on the 2nd creates a loss of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a gain of 2. And success on the initial 3 with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all 4 rounds gives you with 12, a take of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second bet five instances for every successful streak of 4 rounds and in the end, break even.
