Baccarat Chemin de Fer Practices and Method
Punto Banco Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are valued at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum of the 2 cards, although the beginning digit is dropped. e.g., a hand of five and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus six equals eleven; ignore the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card could be given depending on the following rules:
- If the player or banker achieves a total of 8 or 9, both players stay.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the gambler stands, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the player takes a card, a guide is employed to decide if the banker stays or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19 to 20 (even money less a 5% rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off when you leave the table so be sure to still have money left over before you quit). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie typically pays out at 8:1 but sometimes nine to one. (This is a bad wager as ties occur less than one in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)
Bet on correctly punto banco provides relatively good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Method
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few general myths. One of which is close to a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events yet to happen. Keeping score of previous outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most established and probably the most accomplished course of action is the one, three, two, six method. This method is employed to maximize earnings and minimizing risk.
Begin by betting one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a grand total of three chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will have six on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the 3rd bet. If you succeed on the 3rd round, add two to the four on the game table for a sum total of six on the fourth round.
If you do not win on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A profit on the first bet followed by a loss on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Success on the initial 2 with a loss on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the 1st 3 with a hit on the 4th means you are even. Winning at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you are able to give up the second wager five instances for every favorable streak of four rounds and in the end, break even.
