Baccarat Banque Codes
Punto banco is played with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (5 plus 6 equals 11; ignore the initial ‘one’).
A additional card may be dealt using the following rules:
- If the gambler or banker has a value of eight or nine, the two players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, she hits. Players stands otherwise.
- If the player stands, the house takes a card on a total lower than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is used to figure out if the house stands or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The higher of the two scores wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out 19:20 (even money less a 5% commission. Commission are recorded and paid off when you leave the game so make sure you still have money remaining just before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie normally pays out at 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for nine to one versus 8 to 1)
Played properly baccarat chemin de fer gives generally good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Banque Strategy
As with all games baccarat banque has quite a few common myths. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future actions. Recording past results on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most established and possibly the most accomplished course of action is the one-three-two-six technique. This method is employed to build up winnings and limit risk.
Begin by betting 1 unit. If you succeed, add 1 more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the table, pull off 4 so you keep 2 on the 3rd round. If you succeed on the 3rd round, deposit 2 to the 4 on the game table for a grand total of six on the fourth wager.
If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the second brings about a loss of 2. Success on the 1st 2 with a loss on the third gives you with a take of two. And success on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you can not win on the 2nd wager 5 times for every successful streak of four wagers and still experience no loss.
