Baccarat Banque Policies

Punto banco is gambled on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below ten are counted at face value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum total of the cards, but the first number is dumped. e.g., a hand of 5 and six has a total of one (5 plus six = 11; ditch the initial ‘one’).

A additional card can be given out depending on the rules below:

- If the gambler or bank achieves a score of eight or 9, both players stand.

- If the player has 5 or less, he takes a card. Players stays otherwise.

- If the player stays, the banker hits on five or less. If the player takes a card, a guide is used to decide if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out 19:20 (even money minus a 5% rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you depart the game so make sure you have cash left over just before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8:1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten rounds. Be cautious of gambling on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)

Played properly baccarat banque provides relatively decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Strategy

As with all games punto banco has a few general misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future outcomes. Recording previous outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and likely the most favorable scheme is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This technique is employed to build up winnings and limit losses.

Start by betting 1 unit. If you succeed, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a total of 3 units on the second bet. Should you succeed you will have six on the game table, remove four so you have 2 on the third bet. If you come away with a win on the third round, add two to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth wager.

If you do not win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the first three with a hit on the 4th means you experience no loss. Winning at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you can lose the second bet 5 instances for every successful run of 4 wagers and still are even.
