Baccarat Regulations and Strategy


Baccarat Banque Codes

Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are worth their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the total of the two cards, however the first number is dropped. e.g., a hand of five and six has a score of one (5 plus 6 = 11; drop the first ‘one’).

A 3rd card could be given out depending on the rules below:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of eight or nine, the two players hold.

- If the player has five or lower, he takes a card. Players holds otherwise.

- If the gambler stays, the house takes a card on five or lower. If the player hits, a guide is used to figure out if the house stands or takes a card.

Baccarat Odds

The higher of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out 19 to 20 (even money less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you leave the game so ensure you have funds around just before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays one to one. Winning bets for a tie normally pay 8:1 but sometimes nine to one. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten rounds. Be cautious of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. 8 to 1)

Wagered on properly baccarat banque provides relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Scheme

As with all games Baccarat has quite a few general misconceptions. One of which is close to a false impression in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events about to happen. Recording previous outcomes on a chart is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper desires.

The most established and probably the most accomplished strategy is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This plan is employed to build up winnings and limit losses.

Start by placing one unit. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will retain 6 on the table, remove 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd round. If you succeed on the 3rd bet, add 2 on the four on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.

Should you do not win on the initial wager, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the second creates a hit of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a defeat on the third provides you with a gain of two. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 wagers gives you with twelve, a gain of 10. This means you can lose the 2nd wager five times for every successful run of 4 wagers and in the end, experience no loss.
