Baccarat Principles

Baccarat chemin de fer is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at their printed number while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the two cards, however the beginning digit is dumped. e.g., a hand of five and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; ditch the initial ‘1′).

A additional card might be dealt using the rules below:

- If the player or banker has a total of eight or nine, the two players hold.

- If the player has less than five, she takes a card. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player holds, the banker takes a card on a total lower than five. If the player takes a card, a table is employed to decide if the house holds or takes a card.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The greater of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a 5% rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off when you leave the table so make sure you still have money left over just before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie frequently pay eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Be cautious of gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 vs. 8:1)

Bet on properly baccarat provides fairly good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Course of Action

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some familiar myths. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future events. Recording past outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.

The most accepted and possibly the most successful course of action is the one, three, two, six technique. This method is used to pump up earnings and minimizing losses.

Start by betting one unit. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the game table, take away 4 so you keep two on the 3rd bet. Should you come away with a win on the third round, deposit 2 on the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Success on the 1st two with a hit on the third gives you with a take of 2. And success on the 1st three with a loss on the fourth means you break even. Winning at all four wagers gives you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to lose the 2nd round 5 times for every successful run of 4 wagers and still are even.
