Punto Banco Regulations
Baccarat is gambled on with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum of the two cards, although the 1st number is dumped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (five plus six equals eleven; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A additional card can be given out using the following rules:
- If the player or house has a score of eight or 9, both players hold.
- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players stays otherwise.
- If the gambler stands, the house hits on a total lower than 5. If the player hits, a guide is used to determine if the bank stands or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The larger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out nineteen to Twenty (even money less a five percent commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out when you quit the game so make sure you have cash left just before you quit). Winning bets on the player pays out at 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie typically pays out at eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. eight to one)
Played properly baccarat provides fairly good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Course of Action
As with all games Baccarat has a handful of general misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of events yet to happen. Keeping score of previous outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most familiar and almost certainly the most favorable scheme is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This plan is used to pump up earnings and minimizing losses.
Begin by wagering one unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have six on the game table, take away 4 so you have 2 on the third bet. Should you succeed on the 3rd round, deposit 2 on the four on the table for a sum total of six on the 4th round.
Should you do not win on the 1st round, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Success on the first two with a loss on the 3rd provides you with a gain of two. And wins on the first 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second round five times for every successful streak of four rounds and in the end, experience no loss.
