Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules

Punto banco is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed number while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the cards, but the first number is ignored. e.g., a hand of 5 and six has a value of one (five plus 6 = eleven; drop the 1st ‘1′).

A 3rd card may be given out depending on the rules below:

- If the player or banker gets a value of eight or nine, the two players stay.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, he hits. Players holds otherwise.

- If the player stays, the bank takes a card on 5 or less. If the player hits, a guide is used to see if the bank stays or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the 2 totals wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19:20 (even payout minus a 5 percent commission. Commission are recorded and paid off when you leave the game so make sure you have cash around before you quit). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie normally pays eight to one but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than one in every ten hands. Be wary of putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for nine to one versus eight to one)

Bet on correctly baccarat provides generally decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some familiar false impressions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future actions. Keeping score of previous outcomes on a chart is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.

The most familiar and definitely the most accomplished method is the one-three-two-six plan. This plan is employed to pump up profits and limit risk.

Begin by placing one dollar. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a sum total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will hold 6 on the game table, take away four so you are left with two on the third wager. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, put down 2 on the 4 on the game table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.

Should you lose on the 1st bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the first wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 rounds leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you can lose the 2nd bet 5 instances for each successful streak of 4 bets and still experience no loss.
