Baccarat Chemin de Fer Principles
Baccarat banque is wagered on with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards below ten are valued at 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 aren’t actual people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the total of the cards, but the first digit is ignored. e.g., a hand of five and six has a total of one (five plus six equals eleven; ignore the initial ‘one’).
A additional card will be given using the following rules:
- If the gambler or bank gets a total of 8 or 9, the two players hold.
- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player holds, the house hits on a value lower than five. If the gambler takes a card, a table is employed to see if the bank stands or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the two scores wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout 19:20 (even money less a 5% commission. Commission are recorded and cleared out once you leave the table so make sure you still have cash left over before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at 8:1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a poor bet as ties occur lower than one in every 10 rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9 to 1 vs. 8:1)
Played correctly baccarat offers relatively decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Scheme
As with all games punto banco has some established misconceptions. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Tracking previous outcomes on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most established and definitely the most successful strategy is the 1-3-2-6 method. This plan is used to build up winnings and limit losses.
Start by wagering one dollar. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the game table for a total of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will have six on the game table, pull off four so you have two on the 3rd round. If you succeed on the third wager, add two on the four on the game table for a sum total of six on the 4th wager.
Should you do not win on the first wager, you take a hit of one. A profit on the first round followed by a loss on the second brings about a loss of two. Wins on the initial two with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all four rounds leaves you with twelve, a gain of 10. This means you will be able to lose the 2nd wager 5 instances for every successful streak of four rounds and still balance the books.
