Baccarat Regulations
Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum of the 2 cards, but the beginning digit is ignored. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (five plus six = eleven; drop the first ‘1′).
A additional card may be dealt using the following rules:
- If the player or banker achieves a total of eight or nine, the two players hold.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the gambler stays, the bank hits on 5 or lower. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to see if the bank holds or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The bigger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (even payout less a 5% commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you leave the game so make sure you have cash left over just before you quit). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pay 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 hands. Be wary of putting money on a tie. However odds are substantially better for nine to one vs. 8:1)
Bet on correctly baccarat banque offers relatively good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some common myths. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Recording past outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper desires.
The most common and probably the most accomplished method is the one, three, two, six plan. This plan is used to maximize winnings and minimizing losses.
Start by betting one dollar. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will have six on the game table, take away four so you are left with two on the third bet. Should you win the 3rd bet, put down 2 to the four on the game table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
If you do not win on the first wager, you take a hit of 1. A win on the initial bet followed by a loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a take of 2. And success on the initial three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning all four wagers leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can lose the second wager five times for each successful run of four wagers and still balance the books.
