Punto Banco Codes

Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are worth their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the beginning number is discarded. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (5 plus six = 11; drop the initial ‘one’).

A 3rd card could be dealt based on the rules below:

- If the gambler or house has a total of eight or nine, the two players stay.

- If the gambler has five or less, he takes a card. Players otherwise hold.

- If the player stands, the house takes a card on a total less than 5. If the gambler takes a card, a table is employed to see if the house holds or takes a card.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the house payout nineteen to Twenty (equal money less a 5% commission. Commission are kept track of and paid off when you depart the table so be sure to have money around just before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pay one to one. Winning wagers for a tie frequently pays out at 8 to 1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for nine to one versus 8:1)

Played properly baccarat banque provides relatively decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Method

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some common myths. One of which is close to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of future outcomes. Keeping track of past outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.

The most familiar and possibly the most successful scheme is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This tactic is used to maximize winnings and minimizing losses.

Start by wagering one chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the game table, remove four so you are left with two on the 3rd round. If you succeed on the 3rd bet, add two on the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.

If you don’t win on the first round, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st round followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a take of two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you are able to lose the 2nd bet five instances for each favorable run of 4 bets and still are even.
