Baccarat Chemin de Fer Codes
Punto banco is played with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, however the 1st digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (5 plus six equals eleven; ditch the initial ‘one’).
A third card can be given out based on the rules below:
- If the player or bank achieves a total of 8 or 9, both players stay.
- If the gambler has five or less, he takes a card. Players holds otherwise.
- If the gambler holds, the house takes a card on a value lower than five. If the gambler takes a card, a table is used to see if the banker stays or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out 19:20 (even payout minus a five percent rake. Commission are recorded and paid off once you depart the game so ensure you have cash left before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for tie usually pay 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties happen less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Avoid putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 versus 8:1)
Wagered on properly baccarat provides relatively good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with all games Baccarat has quite a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future actions. Tracking previous results on a chart is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.
The most accepted and definitely the most accomplished strategy is the one, three, two, six tactic. This plan is employed to build up profits and minimizing risk.
Begin by placing one chip. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a sum total of three units on the second bet. If you win you will hold six on the table, pull off four so you have two on the 3rd wager. Should you win the 3rd round, put down two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth bet.
If you do not win on the initial round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial round followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd provides you with a profit of two. And success on the initial 3 with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with twelve, a take of ten. This means you can lose the 2nd round 5 times for each favorable streak of four rounds and still balance the books.
