Punto Banco Rules and Method


Punto Banco Standards

Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under 10 are worth their printed value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the total of the 2 cards, although the beginning number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a total of 1 (five plus 6 equals 11; ignore the 1st ‘1′).

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

- If the player or bank gets a total of 8 or 9, both players hold.

- If the gambler has five or less, she hits. Players stands otherwise.

- If the gambler stays, the bank takes a card on five or less. If the gambler takes a card, a table is employed to decide if the house holds or takes a card.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out 19 to 20 (equal money minus a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you quit the table so be sure to have money left just before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pays 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a awful bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)

Bet on correctly baccarat banque provides fairly good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Course of Action

As with all games punto banco has a handful of accepted myths. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events yet to happen. Keeping score of previous outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.

The most established and probably the most successful scheme is the 1-3-2-6 method. This method is used to maximize winnings and limit risk.

Begin by wagering one chip. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the table for a sum of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will hold six on the game table, subtract four so you have 2 on the third bet. If you come away with a win on the 3rd bet, put down two on the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the fourth bet.

Should you don’t win on the first wager, you take a loss of one. A profit on the initial round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of two. And wins on the first three with a defeat on the 4th means you are even. Winning all 4 bets gives you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you are able to give up the second round 5 times for every favorable run of four bets and still experience no loss.
