Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules

Baccarat is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, but the 1st number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a score of one (5 plus 6 = eleven; dump the initial ‘1′).

A third card will be given out using the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker has a value of eight or 9, both players stand.

- If the gambler has less than 5, she hits. Players stays otherwise.

- If the gambler holds, the house hits on 5 or less. If the player hits, a table is used to determine if the bank stays or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The better of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19:20 (equal money less a five percent rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off once you leave the game so make sure you still have money remaining before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie frequently pays eight to one but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

Wagered on correctly baccarat banque offers pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Punto Banco Scheme

As with all games Baccarat has a few established myths. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future outcomes. Tracking past results at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary desires.

The most accepted and likely the most successful scheme is the one-three-two-six technique. This plan is used to maximize winnings and limit risk.

Start by placing 1 unit. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the table, take away four so you are left with 2 on the third bet. Should you win the third bet, add two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth round.

If you lose on the initial wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a hit of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of 2. And success on the first 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four rounds leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can squander the 2nd wager five instances for every successful run of 4 wagers and still balance the books.
