Baccarat Banque Regulations

Baccarat is bet on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are valued at face value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the beginning number is dumped. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a score of 1 (five plus 6 equals eleven; ignore the first ‘one’).

A third card may be given out using the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or 9, the two players stand.

- If the player has less than five, he hits. Players holds otherwise.

- If the player stays, the banker hits on a value lower than five. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is employed to figure out if the house holds or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout 19 to 20 (even payout minus a five percent commission. The Rake is recorded and paid off once you depart the table so be sure to still have cash remaining just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie frequently pay 8:1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs less than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9:1 vs. 8:1)

Bet on correctly baccarat chemin de fer gives pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Punto Banco Scheme

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few common misunderstandings. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future outcomes. Recording past results on a sheet of paper is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.

The most familiar and probably the most successful plan is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This technique is deployed to maximize winnings and minimizing losses.

Start by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will retain 6 on the game table, remove 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you win the third wager, deposit two on the four on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th bet.

Should you don’t win on the 1st round, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st wager followed by a loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the initial 3 with a hit on the 4th means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all four wagers gives you with 12, a take of 10. This means you are able to lose the 2nd round 5 instances for each successful streak of four wagers and in the end, break even.
