Baccarat Chemin de Fer Principles

Baccarat chemin de fer is played with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at face value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum of the cards, however the beginning number is ignored. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a score of 1 (five plus six equals 11; dump the 1st ‘1′).

A third card might be dealt using the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker gets a value of 8 or nine, both players hold.

- If the gambler has less than five, she takes a card. Players stands otherwise.

- If the gambler holds, the banker hits on 5 or less. If the player hits, a table is employed to determine if the banker stands or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The larger of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a 5 percent commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you leave the game so make sure you have money left over just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for tie normally pays out at eight to one but occasionally 9:1. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be wary of wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially better for nine to one vs. 8 to 1)

Bet on correctly punto banco offers generally good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Punto Banco Strategy

As with all games punto banco has some accepted myths. One of which is close to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Recording past results on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.

The most established and likely the most favorable scheme is the one, three, two, six plan. This technique is used to pump up profits and minimizing losses.

Begin by wagering 1 dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a total of three dollars on the second bet. If you win you will hold 6 on the table, pull off four so you have 2 on the third round. Should you succeed on the 3rd bet, deposit two to the four on the game table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth bet.

Should you do not win on the 1st round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the first bet followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Success on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And wins on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you balance the books. Winning all four rounds leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you will be able to not win on the 2nd wager five times for every successful streak of four wagers and in the end, are even.
