Baccarat Policies and Scheme
Punto Banco Policies
Baccarat is gambled on with 8 decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the first number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (five plus 6 = eleven; dump the initial ‘1′).
A additional card might be dealt based on the rules below:
- If the player or banker gets a value of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player stands, the house takes a card on a total lower than five. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is used to determine if the bank stays or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The greater of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the banker payout 19:20 (even money less a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off once you leave the game so ensure you still have funds around just before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays 1:1. Winning wagers for tie normally pay 8 to 1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a awful wager as ties happen less than one in every 10 rounds. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)

Punto Banco Strategy
As with all games punto banco has a few accepted myths. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of events about to happen. Recording past results at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that was cut down for our stationary desires.
The most established and almost certainly the most accomplished scheme is the one, three, two, six method. This method is used to maximize profits and limit risk.
Begin by betting one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a total of three chips on the second bet. Should you win you will hold six on the table, pull off four so you are left with 2 on the 3rd bet. If you come away with a win on the third bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a hit of one. A win on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of 2. Wins on the initial 2 with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a take of 2. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the fourth means you break even. Winning all four bets gives you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you are able to give up the second bet 5 times for every successful run of 4 wagers and in the end, break even.
