Baccarat Principles
Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the total of the 2 cards, however the beginning digit is dropped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (5 plus six equals 11; dump the 1st ‘one’).
A additional card can be given out using the rules below:
- If the player or house gets a value of 8 or nine, both players hold.
- If the player has 5 or lower, he hits. Players stands otherwise.
- If the player stays, the house takes a card on five or less. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is employed to figure out if the house stays or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The better of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19 to 20 (even money less a 5% commission. The Rake is kept track of and paid off once you leave the game so be sure to still have money left before you depart). Winning bets on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie typically pay 8 to 1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten hands. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)
Bet on properly baccarat banque gives pretty decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some established false impressions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of future events. Tracking previous results on a chart is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most common and definitely the most accomplished scheme is the one-three-two-six technique. This plan is used to build up winnings and minimizing losses.
Start by wagering 1 unit. If you succeed, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will have 6 on the table, subtract four so you are left with two on the 3rd wager. If you succeed on the 3rd wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth wager.
Should you lose on the 1st round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the second creates a hit of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a profit of two. And wins on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 bets gives you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you are able to squander the 2nd wager 5 instances for every successful streak of 4 wagers and still balance the books.
