Punto Banco Policies

Baccarat banque is bet on with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards below ten are worth their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the beginning number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a value of one (5 plus 6 = eleven; drop the initial ‘1′).

A third card could be dealt using the following rules:

- If the player or bank gets a total of 8 or 9, both players stand.

- If the gambler has less than 5, she hits. Players stands otherwise.

- If the gambler holds, the bank takes a card on a value less than 5. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to figure out if the banker stays or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The better of the 2 totals wins. Winning bets on the banker payout 19:20 (equal money less a 5% rake. Commission are recorded and cleared out when you quit the game so ensure you have cash around just before you quit). Winning wagers on the player pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie typically pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs less than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

Bet on correctly punto banco provides pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Punto Banco Strategy

As with all games punto banco has a handful of common misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of events about to happen. Tracking previous outcomes on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most established and possibly the most successful strategy is the one, three, two, six plan. This technique is employed to build up winnings and limit losses.

Start by placing 1 dollar. If you succeed, add 1 more to the 2 on the game table for a grand total of three chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will hold six on the table, subtract four so you keep 2 on the third round. Should you succeed on the 3rd wager, add two on the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.

Should you do not win on the first round, you take a hit of one. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And success on the 1st 3 with a loss on the 4th means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all four wagers leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you will be able to not win on the 2nd wager five times for each successful run of four wagers and in the end, are even.
