Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is bet on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are worth face value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, although the 1st number is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of one (five plus 6 equals 11; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A additional card might be given using the rules below:
- If the gambler or bank gets a total of 8 or 9, both players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player holds, the bank takes a card on a value less than five. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to determine if the bank stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you leave the game so ensure you still have money left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie usually pay eight to one but on occasion nine to one. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)
Gambled on properly baccarat banque gives pretty decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Strategy
As with all games Baccarat has quite a few established false impressions. One of which is similar to a false impression in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future actions. Keeping score of previous outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper desires.
The most common and probably the most acknowledged strategy is the one-three-two-six technique. This technique is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing losses.
Start by placing one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will retain six on the game table, take away four so you are left with two on the 3rd round. Should you succeed on the 3rd round, put down 2 on the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
If you lose on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the second brings about a loss of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a gain of two. And wins on the first three with a hit on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all four bets gives you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you are able to lose the 2nd round five instances for each favorable run of four bets and still break even.
