Baccarat Banque Rules and Plan
Baccarat Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is played with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are counted at their printed number and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the cards, however the first digit is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus six = eleven; drop the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card can be given out depending on the rules below:
- If the player or house has a score of 8 or 9, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players stays otherwise.
- If the gambler stays, the house hits on a value less than five. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to determine if the banker holds or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out 19:20 (equal cash minus a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you quit the game so be sure to still have cash left over before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pay one to one. Winning bets for tie frequently pay 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a poor bet as ties happen less than one in every 10 hands. Avoid gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly baccarat chemin de fer gives fairly good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events yet to happen. Keeping track of previous results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.
The most familiar and definitely the most acknowledged plan is the one, three, two, six technique. This technique is deployed to maximize profits and limit losses.
Start by betting one dollar. If you win, add another to the two on the game table for a grand total of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the game table, take away four so you are left with 2 on the third bet. Should you win the third bet, add 2 to the 4 on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth round.
Should you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st wager followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a profit of two. And wins on the initial 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Winning at all four wagers leaves you with twelve, a take of ten. This means you can lose the 2nd round 5 times for every favorable streak of four wagers and in the end, experience no loss.
