Baccarat chemin de fer is bet on with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the sum total of the cards, although the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and six has a score of one (five plus six = 11; dump the first ‘one’).

A third card will be dealt using the rules below:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of 8 or nine, both players stay.

- If the player has five or lower, he hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player holds, the house hits on a value less than five. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is used to figure out if the house stays or takes a card.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out nineteen to Twenty (even payout less a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out when you quit the table so be sure to still have money remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1:1. Winning wagers for tie frequently pays out at eight to one but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur lower than one in every 10 rounds. Avoid gambling on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

Gambled on correctly baccarat provides pretty good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few accepted myths. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of future outcomes. Keeping score of past outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and probably the most accomplished scheme is the one-three-two-six technique. This tactic is employed to maximize winnings and limit risk.

Begin by placing one chip. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain 6 on the table, subtract four so you keep 2 on the third round. Should you come away with a win on the third bet, deposit 2 on the four on the game table for a total of six on the 4th round.

If you do not win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the initial round followed by a loss on the second causes a hit of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the 1st 3 with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can lose the second bet 5 instances for each successful run of four bets and in the end, break even.
