Punto Banco Regulations

Baccarat is enjoyed with eight decks in a shoe. Cards below 10 are worth their printed value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the sum of the two cards, although the first number is ignored. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a total of one (five plus 6 = 11; dump the initial ‘one’).

A third card can be dealt depending on the rules below:

- If the gambler or house achieves a total of eight or nine, the two players stay.

- If the player has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players holds otherwise.

- If the gambler stands, the house takes a card on 5 or lower. If the gambler hits, a chart is employed to see if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The better of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19:20 (even money less a five percent commission. Commission are recorded and paid off once you depart the table so ensure you still have funds remaining before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pay one to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at 8 to 1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than one in every 10 rounds. Avoid wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)

Gambled on properly baccarat chemin de fer gives pretty good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of common misunderstandings. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events about to happen. Keeping score of past outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.

The most accepted and almost certainly the most acknowledged strategy is the one, three, two, six technique. This method is employed to maximize profits and limit losses.

Start by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the game table for a grand total of three units on the second bet. If you win you will now have six on the table, subtract 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd round. Should you succeed on the 3rd wager, add two on the 4 on the table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a loss of 2. Success on the initial two with a defeat on the third gives you with a take of two. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all four rounds gives you with 12, a take of 10. This means you are able to not win on the second wager five times for each successful streak of four bets and still break even.
