Baccarat Banque Standards
Baccarat is gambled on with 8 decks in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed number and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the first number is ignored. e.g., a hand of five and 6 has a value of one (5 plus 6 = 11; dump the 1st ‘one’).
A third card could be given out using the following rules:
- If the gambler or house gets a value of eight or 9, both players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, he hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player holds, the bank hits on a value less than 5. If the player takes a card, a table is employed to see if the banker stays or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19 to 20 (equal money less a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you depart the game so make sure you have cash remaining just before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1:1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8 to 1 but on occasion nine to one. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Avoid betting on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9:1 vs. 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly baccarat provides relatively good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Method
As with all games baccarat banque has some familiar misconceptions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events yet to happen. Keeping track of past outcomes on a chart is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and likely the most successful plan is the one-three-two-six method. This method is deployed to build up winnings and limit losses.
Start by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will have 6 on the table, subtract 4 so you keep 2 on the third bet. If you come away with a win on the 3rd wager, deposit 2 to the four on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.
If you do not win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the initial two with a loss on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Succeeding at all 4 wagers gives you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you are able to lose the 2nd round 5 times for every favorable run of four bets and still are even.
