Punto Banco Policies and Scheme
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Regulations
Baccarat banque is gambled on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are valued at their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the sum total of the cards, but the beginning number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a total of one (five plus six equals 11; ignore the initial ‘one’).
A third card might be given out using the rules below:
- If the gambler or banker gets a value of 8 or nine, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the gambler holds, the banker takes a card on 5 or lower. If the player takes a card, a table is used to figure out if the bank stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even money less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out when you quit the game so be sure to have cash left before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning bets for tie frequently pays eight to one but on occasion 9:1. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten hands. Be wary of wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9:1 versus eight to one)
Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer offers fairly decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Punto Banco Course of Action
As with all games punto banco has quite a few familiar misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events yet to happen. Recording previous outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and probably the most favorable course of action is the one-three-two-six plan. This plan is used to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.
Start by wagering one unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a total of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will now have 6 on the game table, subtract 4 so you are left with two on the third round. If you succeed on the third bet, put down two to the 4 on the game table for a total of six on the fourth round.
If you don’t win on the 1st round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial wager followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of two. Wins on the initial two with a hit on the third provides you with a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a defeat on the fourth means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 rounds gives you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you are able to lose the second round 5 instances for each favorable run of 4 bets and in the end, break even.
