Baccarat Banque Practices and Strategy
Baccarat Banque Principles
Baccarat chemin de fer is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are worth their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the total of the cards, but the 1st number is dumped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus 6 = eleven; dump the 1st ‘one’).
A additional card can be dealt using the rules below:
- If the gambler or banker achieves a value of eight or nine, both players hold.
- If the gambler has five or lower, he hits. Players otherwise hold.
- If the gambler stays, the house hits on a total lower than 5. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to decide if the banker stands or takes a card.
Baccarat Banque Odds
The bigger of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5% commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you quit the game so make sure you have cash left just before you depart). Winning wagers on the player pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie normally pays out at 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a awful wager as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)
Bet on properly baccarat banque offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games baccarat banque has some familiar false impressions. One of which is similar to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future actions. Keeping score of past outcomes on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and likely the most accomplished scheme is the one-three-two-six tactic. This technique is deployed to maximize profits and limit losses.
Start by betting 1 unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you win you will now have 6 on the table, subtract 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you come away with a win on the 3rd bet, deposit 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.
Should you don’t win on the initial wager, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the first bet followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Success on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you with a profit of two. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all four wagers gives you with twelve, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to give up the 2nd wager 5 instances for every successful streak of 4 bets and in the end, balance the books.
