Punto Banco Practices and Strategy
Baccarat Banque Codes
Baccarat banque is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at their printed number and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the two cards, but the beginning digit is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and six has a total of one (five plus six = eleven; drop the first ‘1′).
A 3rd card could be dealt using the rules below:
- If the player or bank has a score of eight or 9, both players stay.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player stands, the banker hits on five or less. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to figure out if the banker stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The bigger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the bank pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a 5 percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you depart the game so make sure you still have cash remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie typically pay eight to one but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a awful wager as ties happen lower than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. eight to one)
Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer offers pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Method
As with all games punto banco has quite a few accepted false impressions. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future actions. Tracking previous outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper desires.
The most familiar and probably the most acknowledged strategy is the one-three-two-six technique. This method is used to pump up winnings and minimizing losses.
Start by placing 1 dollar. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a sum total of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the table, subtract four so you are left with 2 on the 3rd bet. If you succeed on the 3rd wager, put down two on the four on the game table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th bet.
If you lose on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial round followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a hit of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a profit of 2. And success on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th means you are even. Succeeding at all 4 wagers gives you with twelve, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to give up the second round five times for each successful run of four rounds and still are even.
