Punto Banco Regulations and Strategy
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are worth their printed number while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are placed 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 dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the total of the cards, but the 1st number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (5 plus 6 = eleven; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A third card can be given out using the rules below:
- If the gambler or bank achieves a score of 8 or 9, both players hold.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player stays, the banker hits on 5 or lower. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is employed to decide if the banker stands or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19:20 (equal cash minus a 5% commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out once you leave the game so ensure you still have funds left just before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie normally pays out at 8 to 1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a awful bet as ties happen lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)
Played properly baccarat banque provides relatively good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method
As with all games punto banco has quite a few common misunderstandings. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future actions. Recording past results at a table is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most familiar and likely the most favorable course of action is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This method is deployed to pump up profits and limit risk.
Start by placing 1 chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of 3 dollars on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the table, remove 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. Should you win the third round, add 2 to the 4 on the game table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
Should you do not win on the first round, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a hit of two. Success on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a gain of 2. And success on the first three with a hit on the 4th means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all 4 rounds gives you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second wager 5 times for each favorable streak of 4 rounds and in the end, break even.
