Punto Banco Standards
Baccarat is played with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the total of the two cards, although the beginning number is discarded. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; dump the initial ‘1′).
A 3rd card will be given out based on the rules below:
- If the player or house achieves a value of 8 or 9, both players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player holds, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the player hits, a guide is employed to determine if the banker stands or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The greater of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out nineteen to Twenty (even money less a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you leave the game so ensure you have cash left just before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays out at eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. 8:1)

Baccarat Strategy
As with all games baccarat banque has a handful of established misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future events. Tracking past results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper desires.
The most familiar and possibly the most acknowledged strategy is the one, three, two, six plan. This tactic is employed to pump up earnings and minimizing losses.
Start by wagering one unit. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have 6 on the table, take away four so you are left with two on the 3rd round. If you win the third round, add 2 to the four on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth wager.
Should you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a hit of two. Success on the first two with a loss on the third provides you with a gain of two. And success on the first three with a hit on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four bets gives you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you are able to lose the second wager 5 instances for every successful streak of 4 wagers and in the end, balance the books.
