Baccarat Chemin de Fer Policies

Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below ten are counted at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum total of the cards, however the 1st number is discarded. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a score of one (5 plus 6 = 11; ignore the initial ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be dealt using the following rules:

- If the gambler or bank has a value of 8 or 9, the two players stand.

- If the gambler has five or less, he hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the gambler stays, the house takes a card on five or less. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to decide if the bank stands or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19:20 (even money less a 5% commission. Commission are kept track of and cleared out when you depart the game so be sure to still have cash left just before you depart). Winning bets on the player pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie normally pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties happen lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 versus eight to one)

Gambled on correctly baccarat chemin de fer gives fairly decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method

As with all games punto banco has some general myths. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future outcomes. Recording past results on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.

The most established and almost certainly the most acknowledged plan is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This tactic is deployed to pump up profits and minimizing losses.

Start by placing one chip. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a sum of three units on the second bet. Should you win you will now have 6 on the table, remove 4 so you keep 2 on the third round. If you succeed on the third wager, add two to the four on the game table for a total of six on the 4th wager.

If you do not win on the 1st round, you take a loss of one. A profit on the first round followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of 2. Success on the initial two with a defeat on the third provides you with a profit of 2. And success on the initial three with a loss on the fourth means you break even. Succeeding at all four bets gives you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can lose the 2nd wager 5 instances for each successful streak of 4 rounds and in the end, break even.
