Baccarat Banque Rules and Strategy
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules
Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are worth face value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum total of the cards, however the beginning digit is dropped. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (five plus six = 11; dump the first ‘one’).
A third card could be given based on the following rules:
- If the player or bank has a score of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player holds, the banker takes a card on five or less. If the gambler hits, a guide is employed to figure out if the bank stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (equal money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out when you depart the game so ensure you have cash remaining just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie normally pay 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties occur less than 1 in every ten hands. Be cautious of betting on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. 8:1)
Played properly baccarat chemin de fer gives pretty good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Punto Banco Strategy
As with all games Baccarat has a handful of general misconceptions. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of events yet to happen. Tracking past results at a table is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and definitely the most acknowledged scheme is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This method is deployed to maximize winnings and minimizing losses.
Begin by betting one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have six on the table, subtract four so you have two on the 3rd wager. If you come away with a win on the third bet, put down two on the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth bet.
Should you do not win on the initial wager, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial wager followed by a loss on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a hit on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the first three with a loss on the 4th means you are even. Winning all 4 wagers gives you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you are able to lose the second wager 5 times for every successful run of 4 rounds and in the end, experience no loss.
