Baccarat Banque Rules

Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the sum of the cards, however the beginning number is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (five plus 6 = 11; drop the 1st ‘1′).

A additional card could be given out using the rules below:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of 8 or nine, both players stay.

- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.

- If the gambler stays, the bank takes a card on a value lower than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is employed to figure out if the bank stands or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The greater of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the banker payout nineteen to Twenty (even money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you quit the table so be sure to have cash left before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays 1:1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 versus 8 to 1)

Played properly baccarat chemin de fer provides relatively decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Banque Strategy

As with all games punto banco has a handful of accepted myths. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous outcomes on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.

The most accepted and possibly the most successful scheme is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This tactic is employed to maximize winnings and minimizing risk.

Begin by placing one dollar. If you win, add another to the two on the table for a grand total of three units on the second bet. If you win you will hold 6 on the table, subtract four so you have 2 on the third round. If you win the 3rd bet, put down two to the 4 on the game table for a total of six on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the 1st round, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of two. Wins on the initial two with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of two. And wins on the 1st three with a hit on the 4th means you break even. Winning all 4 rounds leaves you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you can lose the second round 5 instances for every successful run of four bets and in the end, break even.
