Baccarat Policies

Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the cards, although the first digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of 1 (5 plus six = 11; ignore the first ‘1′).

A third card will be dealt using the following rules:

- If the player or house has a value of 8 or nine, both players stay.

- If the gambler has five or less, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.

- If the player stays, the house hits on a value lower than 5. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to figure out if the bank stands or takes a card.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the two hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19:20 (even payout less a 5% commission. The Rake is recorded and paid off when you quit the game so ensure you still have cash around before you head out). Winning wagers on the player pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie usually pay 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Avoid gambling on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for nine to one versus eight to one)

Gambled on properly baccarat chemin de fer provides pretty good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Punto Banco Strategy

As with all games baccarat banque has a few familiar misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous 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 common and definitely the most accomplished strategy is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This technique is deployed to pump up earnings and limit losses.

Begin by betting 1 dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will hold six on the table, pull off 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd round. If you come away with a win on the 3rd round, deposit two to the four on the game table for a total of 6 on the fourth bet.

Should you lose on the initial round, you take a loss of one. A profit on the initial round followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of 2. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a gain of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you can lose the 2nd bet five instances for every successful streak of four wagers and still experience no loss.
