Punto Banco Regulations
Punto banco is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are worth their printed number while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the total of the two cards, but the first number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (5 plus six equals 11; dump the initial ‘one’).
A third card can be given depending on the following rules:
- If the gambler or house achieves a value of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the gambler has less than five, she hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player holds, the banker hits on a total lower than 5. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to see if the banker stays or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (even money minus a five percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off once you quit the table so be sure to have money remaining before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie normally pays out at 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for nine to one versus eight to one)
Wagered on properly punto banco gives generally decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of common misconceptions. One of which is the same as a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events yet to happen. Recording past outcomes on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most familiar and almost certainly the most favorable plan is the one, three, two, six method. This tactic is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.
Start by wagering one chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a total of three chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will hold 6 on the table, pull off four so you keep 2 on the 3rd round. If you win the 3rd round, add 2 on the four on the table for a total of six on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the first wager followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of 2. Success on the first 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the first 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you experience no loss. Winning all four rounds leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can not win on the 2nd bet five times for every favorable run of 4 rounds and still break even.
