Baccarat Banque Standards
Baccarat banque is played with eight decks in a shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum of the cards, however the beginning number is discarded. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of one (5 plus six equals eleven; drop the initial ‘1′).
A 3rd card might be given out depending on the rules below:
- If the player or bank achieves a value of eight or nine, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has less than five, he hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player stays, the bank hits on five or lower. If the player hits, a table is employed to see if the house holds or hits.
Baccarat Banque Odds
The bigger of the two hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19:20 (even money minus a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you leave the table so be sure to have cash left before you head out). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie usually pay 8:1 but sometimes nine to one. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs less than one in every ten rounds. Avoid betting on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)
Bet on correctly baccarat provides relatively decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Punto Banco Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future outcomes. Tracking previous results on a page of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most familiar and possibly the most successful course of action is the one, three, two, six tactic. This technique is employed to pump up earnings and limit losses.
Start by placing 1 dollar. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will retain 6 on the game table, take away 4 so you keep 2 on the third round. Should you win the 3rd bet, deposit 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the fourth bet.
Should you don’t win on the initial wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed by a loss on the 2nd creates a hit of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a profit of 2. And success on the first 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four wagers leaves you with twelve, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to give up the 2nd bet five times for each favorable run of four rounds and still are even.
