Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules

Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are worth face value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets 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 cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum total of the two cards, although the 1st digit is dumped. For example, a hand of five and six has a value of 1 (five plus six = 11; ignore the initial ‘one’).

A 3rd card may be dealt depending on the rules below:

- If the gambler or house gets a total of eight or 9, the two players stand.

- If the player has five or lower, he takes a card. Players holds otherwise.

- If the gambler holds, the banker hits on a value lower than 5. If the player hits, a table is used to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Punto Banco Odds

The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout nineteen to Twenty (even money minus a five percent commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you leave the game so make sure you still have money left just before you quit). Winning bets on the player pays 1:1. Winning wagers for tie normally pay eight to one but sometimes 9:1. (This is a awful bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one versus eight to one)

Gambled on correctly baccarat banque gives fairly good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Scheme

As with all games punto banco has a handful of common misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events yet to happen. Recording previous results at a table is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and definitely the most acknowledged method is the one, three, two, six technique. This plan is deployed to maximize earnings and limit risk.

Begin by betting one chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a total of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. Should you win the 3rd bet, add two on the 4 on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th bet.

If you lose on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the first round followed by a loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a loss on the third provides you with a gain of two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 rounds gives you with twelve, a take of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second bet 5 instances for every successful run of four wagers and in the end, are even.
