Punto Banco Policies

Baccarat banque is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards valued less than ten are worth their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the first digit is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (5 plus six = 11; ditch the first ‘1′).

A third card might be given using the following rules:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of eight or 9, both players stand.

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

- If the player stands, the house takes a card on a total lower than five. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to see if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The higher of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19:20 (equal money less a 5% commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure you still have cash remaining before you depart). Winning bets on the player pay 1:1. Winning bets for a tie usually pays out at eight to one but sometimes nine to one. (This is a awful wager as ties occur lower than one in every 10 hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

Bet on properly baccarat banque offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Strategy

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few common misunderstandings. One of which is close to a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events yet to happen. Tracking previous results at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and probably the most successful strategy is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This plan is deployed to pump up winnings and minimizing risk.

Begin by placing 1 unit. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a sum of 3 units on the second bet. Should you win you will hold 6 on the table, pull off four so you have two on the 3rd wager. If you come away with a win on the 3rd wager, put down two on the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.

If you don’t win on the first wager, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial bet followed by a hit on the second brings about a loss of 2. Success on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And success on the initial 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you are even. Winning all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you can give up the 2nd round 5 instances for each successful streak of four bets and still break even.
