Baccarat Banque Regulations and Scheme
Punto Banco Policies
Baccarat banque is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum of the cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus six = eleven; ditch the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card will be dealt depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of 8 or 9, the two players stay.
- If the player has less than five, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player holds, the house hits on 5 or lower. If the player takes a card, a guide is used to figure out if the banker stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19:20 (even money less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you leave the game so make sure you still have cash remaining before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pay one to one. Winning wagers for tie typically pays out at 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as ties happen lower than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. eight to one)
Wagered on properly baccarat chemin de fer provides fairly decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a few general misconceptions. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events yet to happen. Keeping score of previous results on a page of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary desires.
The most familiar and probably the most accomplished method is the one-three-two-six plan. This plan is used to build up winnings and minimizing losses.
Begin by placing 1 chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will retain 6 on the table, remove four so you are left with two on the 3rd round. Should you succeed on the 3rd round, put down two on the four on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth bet.
Should you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a hit of two. Success on the initial 2 with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And success on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four rounds gives you with 12, a take of ten. This means you will be able to not win on the second wager 5 instances for every successful run of 4 bets and still break even.
