Punto Banco Policies and Strategy


Baccarat Chemin de Fer Rules

Punto banco is played with eight decks in a shoe. Cards under ten are worth their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the total of the cards, although the beginning number is ignored. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a value of 1 (five plus six equals 11; drop the initial ‘one’).

A third card could be dealt based on the rules below:

- If the gambler or bank gets a score of eight or nine, both players stay.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players stands otherwise.

- If the player stands, the bank takes a card on 5 or less. If the player takes a card, a table is employed to see if the house stays or hits.

Punto Banco Odds

The larger of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout nineteen to Twenty (even money less a 5% rake. Commission are tracked and cleared out when you depart the table so make sure you have money left over before you head out). Winning wagers on the player pay one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pay 8:1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

Wagered on properly baccarat provides fairly good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games baccarat banque has some familiar misconceptions. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future actions. Tracking previous results at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.

The most accepted and probably the most acknowledged plan is the one-three-two-six tactic. This plan is used to maximize profits and minimizing risk.

Start by placing 1 chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will retain six on the game table, subtract 4 so you keep 2 on the third bet. Should you win the third wager, put down two to the four on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth bet.

If you do not win on the initial round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a loss on the second brings about a hit of two. Success on the initial 2 with a defeat on the 3rd gives you with a take of two. And success on the first three with a hit on the 4th means you are even. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you will be able to not win on the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful run of 4 wagers and still balance the books.
