Baccarat Rules

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are valued at face value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the sum of the two cards, although the beginning digit is discarded. e.g., a hand of five and six has a value of one (five plus six = eleven; ditch the first ‘1′).

A 3rd card can be given using the following rules:

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

- If the gambler has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players otherwise stay.

- If the player holds, the banker hits on five or lower. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to figure out if the banker stays or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The higher of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a 5% rake. Commission are kept track of and cleared out once you leave the table so be sure to still have cash left over just before you leave). Winning wagers on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie frequently pays out at 8:1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties happen lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8:1)

Gambled on correctly punto banco offers fairly good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games punto banco has some familiar misconceptions. One of which is close to a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future events. Tracking previous outcomes on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary desires.

The most established and almost certainly the most accomplished strategy is the one-three-two-six plan. This method is deployed to pump up winnings and minimizing losses.

Start by betting 1 dollar. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have six on the game table, take away four so you have two on the third bet. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, add 2 to the 4 on the game table for a total of six on the 4th bet.

If you do not win on the initial round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the first round followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a hit of two. Success on the initial two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning all four rounds leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you can squander the 2nd wager 5 times for each successful run of four wagers and in the end, balance the books.
