Baccarat Policies
Baccarat banque is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are worth face value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the 1st digit is ignored. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of 1 (five plus six equals 11; drop the 1st ‘one’).
A additional card could be dealt using the following rules:
- If the gambler or bank has a total of 8 or nine, the two players stay.
- If the player has five or lower, she hits. Players stands otherwise.
- If the gambler stays, the bank takes a card on five or less. If the player takes a card, a guide is used to figure out if the bank holds or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the banker payout nineteen to Twenty (equal money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off once you leave the table so be sure to still have cash around just before you leave). Winning wagers on the player pay one to one. Winning bets for a tie frequently pay 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Be wary of betting on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)
Played properly baccarat chemin de fer gives relatively good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games Baccarat has a few common misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of future actions. Recording past results at a table is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most common and likely the most successful strategy is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This technique is employed to maximize profits and minimizing risk.
Start by betting one unit. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the game table for a sum of three units on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have six on the table, pull off 4 so you are left with 2 on the third bet. If you win the third round, deposit two to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the 4th round.
If you do not win on the first bet, you take a hit of 1. A win on the first wager followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of two. Success on the 1st two with a defeat on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And success on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all four wagers leaves you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you can give up the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four wagers and in the end, experience no loss.
