Punto Banco Standards

Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum total of the cards, however the beginning digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (five plus 6 equals 11; dump the first ‘1′).

A third card may be given depending on the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker has a total of 8 or 9, both players hold.

- If the player has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.

- If the gambler holds, the house hits on five or lower. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to figure out if the banker stays or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out once you leave the game so make sure you still have cash left over before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie frequently pay 8:1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs lower than one in every 10 hands. Be wary of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. eight to one)

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Scheme

As with all games baccarat banque has a handful of accepted myths. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future outcomes. Keeping score of previous results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most established and almost certainly the most successful plan is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This tactic is used to build up winnings and limit risk.

Start by placing one chip. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will have six on the table, pull off four so you keep two on the third wager. If you come away with a win on the 3rd round, add 2 to the four on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth round.

Should you do not win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of one. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the initial 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a gain of 2. And wins on the initial 3 with a loss on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four bets gives you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you can lose the 2nd round five instances for each successful run of 4 rounds and in the end, are even.
