Punto Banco Policies

Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at face value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum of the cards, although the 1st number is ignored. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 equals eleven; drop the first ‘1′).

A third card will be dealt depending on the following rules:

- If the gambler or bank gets a total of eight or 9, the two players hold.

- If the gambler has 5 or lower, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.

- If the player holds, the bank hits on 5 or lower. If the player takes a card, a guide is employed to determine if the house stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (even payout less a five percent commission. Commission are tracked and paid off when you depart the table so make sure you still have cash remaining before you head out). Winning wagers on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie normally pays 8:1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties happen less than one in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)

Bet on correctly punto banco gives relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Scheme

As with all games Baccarat has some common false impressions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of events about to happen. Keeping score of previous outcomes on a page of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and likely the most successful course of action is the one, three, two, six method. This tactic is used to maximize winnings and limit risk.

Start by placing 1 dollar. If you succeed, add 1 more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the game table, pull off 4 so you are left with two on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd wager, deposit two to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.

Should you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of one. A profit on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a hit of 2. Success on the 1st two with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a gain of two. And success on the 1st 3 with a defeat on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning at all four rounds leaves you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you will be able to give up the 2nd wager five times for each successful streak of four wagers and in the end, break even.
