Baccarat Codes

Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the total of the cards, however the beginning digit is ignored. For instance, a hand of five and six has a score of 1 (5 plus 6 = 11; drop the first ‘1′).

A third card might be given out using the rules below:

- If the gambler or house gets a score of eight or 9, the two players stay.

- If the gambler has less than five, she hits. Players otherwise stay.

- If the gambler holds, the house hits on a value less than 5. If the player takes a card, a guide is employed to determine if the banker stays or takes a card.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The better of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the house pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal money less a 5 percent rake. Commission are recorded and cleared out when you leave the table so be sure to still have funds left before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at one to one. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays out at 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a poor bet as ties happen less than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid gambling on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for nine to one vs. 8:1)

Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer offers generally decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Method

As with all games punto banco has quite a few familiar misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future events. Keeping score of previous outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most common and possibly the most favorable scheme is the one-three-two-six plan. This technique is deployed to maximize profits and minimizing risk.

Start by wagering 1 chip. If you succeed, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will hold 6 on the game table, remove 4 so you are left with two on the 3rd round. Should you win the third bet, add two on the 4 on the table for a total of six on the fourth round.

Should you don’t win on the first round, you take a loss of one. A profit on the initial bet followed by a loss on the second causes a hit of two. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 rounds leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can give up the 2nd round 5 times for every favorable streak of 4 rounds and still break even.
