Baccarat Practices and Method
Punto Banco Policies
Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are counted at face value while at the same time 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 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the total of the two cards, but the 1st number is ignored. For example, a hand of five and six has a total of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; ignore the 1st ‘one’).
A 3rd card could be dealt using the following rules:
- If the gambler or banker has a value of 8 or 9, the two players stand.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player stays, the banker takes a card on a total less than 5. If the player hits, a chart is employed to decide if the house stands or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The better of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank payout nineteen to Twenty (even money minus a 5 percent commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you quit the table so be sure to have money around just before you quit). Winning wagers on the player pays out at 1:1. Winning bets for a tie usually pays eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for 9:1 versus 8:1)
Played correctly baccarat gives pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some established misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future events. Keeping score of past outcomes on a chart is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and probably the most favorable plan is the one-three-two-six method. This method is deployed to pump up earnings and limit losses.
Begin by wagering one chip. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have six on the table, subtract four so you keep 2 on the third round. If you succeed on the third wager, add two on the four on the game table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th wager.
Should you lose on the 1st wager, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial bet followed by a loss on the second causes a hit of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a gain of 2. And success on the 1st three with a loss on the 4th means you are even. Succeeding at all 4 rounds leaves you with 12, a take of 10. This means you are able to squander the 2nd round five instances for each favorable streak of four rounds and still are even.
