Baccarat Chemin de Fer Principles

Baccarat banque is played with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are worth face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, however the beginning digit is dumped. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (five plus 6 = eleven; dump the first ‘1′).

A 3rd card could be given out using the rules below:

- If the gambler or bank has a total of 8 or nine, the two players stand.

- If the gambler has less than 5, she takes a card. Players holds otherwise.

- If the gambler stands, the house hits on a value lower than 5. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to decide if the house holds or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two scores wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (equal money less a five percent commission. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you leave the table so ensure you have money around just before you quit). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie usually pays 8 to 1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten hands. Avoid putting money on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. eight to one)

Gambled on properly baccarat chemin de fer gives relatively decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with all games Baccarat has some established misconceptions. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of events about to happen. Tracking past results on a sheet of paper is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.

The most familiar and probably the most successful method is the one-three-two-six technique. This method is employed to build up earnings and limit losses.

Start by betting 1 dollar. If you win, add another to the two on the table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. If you win you will now have 6 on the game table, subtract 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd round. Should you succeed on the third bet, deposit two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th bet.

Should you do not win on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first two with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And success on the 1st 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all four bets gives you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you can squander the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful run of 4 wagers and still break even.
