Punto Banco Rules and Method
Baccarat Regulations
Baccarat banque is bet on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, however the 1st number is dumped. For example, a hand of 5 and six has a score of one (5 plus six equals 11; ditch the initial ‘one’).
A third card may be given based on the following rules:
- If the player or banker has a score of 8 or nine, both players stay.
- If the gambler has less than five, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the gambler holds, the bank takes a card on 5 or less. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to see if the bank stands or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (equal money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you leave the table so ensure you still have money left over before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pay one to one. Winning bets for a tie typically pay eight to one but sometimes 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties occur lower than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. 8:1)
Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer offers relatively good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Scheme
As with all games Baccarat has quite a few general false impressions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future outcomes. Tracking past results at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.
The most established and definitely the most favorable plan is the one, three, two, six tactic. This plan is used to maximize profits and limit losses.
Start by wagering one dollar. If you succeed, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of 3 units on the second bet. If you succeed you will have 6 on the table, remove 4 so you keep two on the 3rd bet. Should you win the third bet, add two on the 4 on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th bet.
Should you do not win on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Success on the 1st 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a gain of 2. And wins on the 1st 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning all 4 rounds leaves you with twelve, a gain of 10. This means you are able to give up the 2nd bet 5 instances for every successful streak of 4 rounds and still experience no loss.
