Baccarat Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with 8 decks in a shoe. Cards under ten are worth their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, however the 1st number is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a score of one (5 plus 6 equals 11; ignore the first ‘1′).
A 3rd card could be given out depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or bank gets a total of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the player has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the gambler stays, the house hits on five or lower. If the gambler takes a card, a table is employed to decide if the banker holds or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The larger of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (even money less a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you leave the table so be sure to have cash left over just before you quit). Winning bets on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie frequently pays 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 rounds. Avoid putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for nine to one vs. 8 to 1)
Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer provides relatively good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Strategy
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of familiar myths. One of which is close to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future outcomes. Recording previous outcomes on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most established and probably the most successful course of action is the one-three-two-six technique. This technique is employed to pump up profits and limit losses.
Begin by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you win you will hold 6 on the table, subtract 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd bet. Should you come away with a win on the third round, put down two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth bet.
If you lose on the 1st round, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Success on the first two with a defeat on the third gives you with a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you are able to lose the 2nd bet 5 instances for every successful streak of four rounds and in the end, balance the books.
