Punto Banco Rules and Scheme
Baccarat Banque Codes
Baccarat chemin de fer is played with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at face value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the total of the cards, however the beginning digit is dumped. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a value of one (five plus 6 = 11; ditch the initial ‘one’).
A third card can be dealt using the rules below:
- If the player or banker has a total of eight or nine, the two players stand.
- If the player has five or lower, he hits. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player stands, the bank takes a card on a value lower than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is used to see if the bank holds or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the banker payout 19:20 (even money minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you depart the table so be sure to still have cash around before you head out). Winning bets on the player pay 1:1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays eight to one but on occasion 9:1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur less than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 versus 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly punto banco offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Method
As with all games punto banco has quite a few general myths. One of which is similar to a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of events about to happen. Recording previous results at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most common and probably the most favorable method is the one-three-two-six plan. This tactic is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing losses.
Start by placing 1 chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the table, pull off 4 so you have two on the third wager. Should you win the third wager, deposit 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th round.
If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a hit of one. A win on the 1st round followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a hit of two. Wins on the initial two with a defeat on the 3rd gives you with a gain of two. And success on the 1st three with a loss on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a take of 10. This means you can lose the second bet five instances for each favorable run of four bets and in the end, experience no loss.
