Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules and Strategy


[ English ]

Punto Banco Policies

Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the 1st number is discarded. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (five plus 6 = 11; dump the initial ‘1′).

A third card might be dealt based on the following rules:

- If the gambler or house achieves a total of 8 or nine, both players hold.

- If the player has 5 or less, she hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player stays, the house takes a card on five or lower. If the player takes a card, a guide is employed to figure out if the banker holds or hits.

Punto Banco Odds

The larger of the 2 totals wins. Winning bets on the banker payout 19 to 20 (even money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you quit the game so make sure you have cash left over just before you depart). Winning bets on the gambler pays one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pay eight to one but on occasion 9:1. (This is a awful wager as ties occur lower than one in every ten rounds. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. 8:1)

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

Baccarat Method

As with all games Baccarat has a few common false impressions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most common and likely the most favorable course of action is the one-three-two-six technique. This plan is employed to maximize winnings and limit risk.

Start by placing one unit. If you win, add another to the two on the game table for a sum of three units on the second bet. Should you win you will now have six on the game table, pull off 4 so you have two on the 3rd wager. Should you win the third round, deposit two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.

Should you don’t win on the initial wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And success on the first three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all four wagers leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second wager 5 times for every favorable streak of 4 rounds and in the end, break even.
