Punto Banco Standards

Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under ten are valued at face value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand is the sum of the two cards, however the 1st number is dumped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of one (5 plus 6 = eleven; ignore the initial ‘1′).

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

- If the gambler or bank has a value of eight or nine, both players hold.

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

- If the gambler holds, the house hits on a value less than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is used to see if the bank stays or takes a card.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The larger of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout 19:20 (even money less a 5 percent rake. Commission are recorded and cleared out when you quit the game so make sure you still have funds around before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for a tie typically pays 8 to 1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a bad wager as ties occur less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

Wagered on properly baccarat provides pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Punto Banco Method

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a few general false impressions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future actions. Tracking past results on a chart is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most familiar and almost certainly the most acknowledged scheme is the one, three, two, six tactic. This plan is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.

Begin by wagering one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will hold 6 on the table, subtract 4 so you keep 2 on the third wager. Should you succeed on the 3rd round, put down two on the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th bet.

Should you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of 1. A win on the first round followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Success on the first two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And success on the 1st three with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning at all four rounds leaves you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you can not win on the 2nd wager five times for each successful run of four bets and in the end, break even.
