Baccarat Rules

Baccarat is gambled on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made 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 dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a score of one (5 plus six equals eleven; drop the 1st ‘one’).

A third card can be dealt using the following rules:

- If the gambler or bank has a value of 8 or 9, both players hold.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, she hits. Players stands otherwise.

- If the gambler stays, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the gambler hits, a table is employed to decide if the house stays or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The better of the 2 totals wins. Winning bets on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (equal money minus a 5 percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you leave the game so make sure you still have funds left before you depart). Winning bets on the gambler pays one to one. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays eight to one but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be wary of betting on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9:1 versus 8:1)

Gambled on correctly baccarat banque gives relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method

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

The most accepted and definitely the most favorable method is the one-three-two-six tactic. This method is used to maximize profits and minimizing risk.

Start by placing 1 dollar. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a sum total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you win you will hold 6 on the game table, remove 4 so you keep two on the 3rd bet. Should you win the third round, deposit two on the 4 on the table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th round.

If you don’t win on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st wager followed by a loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a defeat on the 3rd gives you with a gain of 2. And wins on the initial 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four rounds gives you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you can squander the second bet 5 times for each favorable streak of 4 bets and in the end, balance the books.
