Baccarat Banque Standards
Baccarat banque is gambled on with 8 decks in a shoe. Cards below 10 are valued at their printed value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is dropped. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus six = eleven; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A additional card could be given depending on the rules below:
- If the player or house has a total of 8 or 9, the two players stand.
- If the player has 5 or less, he takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the gambler stays, the house takes a card on 5 or less. If the player takes a card, a table is used to decide if the banker stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The better of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19:20 (even money minus a 5% commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out once you quit the table so be sure to still have money left over before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pays one to one. Winning bets for a tie usually pay eight to one but sometimes nine to one. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten rounds. Avoid wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one versus 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly baccarat banque provides generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few established misconceptions. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future actions. Keeping score of past results at a table is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most established and probably the most favorable course of action is the one, three, two, six tactic. This tactic is employed to pump up winnings and limit risk.
Start by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the table for a grand total of three chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will hold 6 on the table, remove four so you are left with 2 on the 3rd round. Should you succeed on the 3rd bet, deposit two to the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the fourth wager.
Should you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a hit of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a take of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four bets gives you with twelve, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to lose the 2nd bet 5 times for each favorable run of four bets and in the end, experience no loss.
