Baccarat Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at their printed value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum of the cards, but the first number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (five plus 6 equals 11; ditch the initial ‘one’).
A additional card could be dealt depending on the rules below:
- If the player or banker gets a value of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the player has less than five, she hits. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player stays, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the player hits, a chart is used to determine if the house stands or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal money minus a 5% commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you quit the table so ensure you still have cash left before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for tie usually pay eight to one but sometimes nine to one. (This is a awful wager as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8 to 1)
Bet on properly baccarat provides relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games baccarat banque has quite a few accepted myths. One of which is the same as a misconception in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future actions. Tracking past results at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.
The most established and definitely the most favorable course of action is the one-three-two-six tactic. This tactic is deployed to maximize winnings and limit risk.
Start by placing one dollar. If you win, add another to the two on the game table for a total of 3 dollars on the second bet. If you win you will hold six on the table, take away 4 so you keep two on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add two on the four on the game table for a total of six on the 4th round.
Should you don’t win on the first wager, you take a hit of one. A win on the first round followed by a hit on the second creates a hit of two. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And wins on the first three with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning all 4 rounds leaves you with 12, a take of 10. This means you can lose the second bet five instances for each favorable streak of 4 bets and still break even.
