Punto Banco Practices and Scheme
Punto Banco Codes
Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are worth their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum of the two cards, although the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a score of one (5 plus six = eleven; ditch the first ‘1′).
A third card will be given out based on the rules below:
- If the player or house gets a score of eight or 9, the two players stand.
- If the gambler has less than five, she takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player holds, the house takes a card on a value less than five. If the player hits, a guide is used to figure out if the bank holds or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19:20 (equal cash minus a 5% rake. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you leave the table so be sure to still have funds left before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pays 1:1. Winning bets for a tie normally pays 8:1 but on occasion nine to one. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten rounds. Avoid wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. 8:1)
Wagered on correctly baccarat chemin de fer provides generally good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Scheme
As with all games Baccarat has quite a few common misconceptions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of future actions. Recording past outcomes on a chart is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most established and almost certainly the most successful scheme is the one-three-two-six plan. This method is employed to build up earnings and minimizing risk.
Begin by betting 1 chip. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a grand total of three units on the second bet. If you win you will hold six on the table, pull off 4 so you keep 2 on the third bet. Should you win the 3rd wager, deposit 2 on the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the 4th round.
If you don’t win on the initial round, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second creates a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a hit on the third provides you with a profit of 2. And success on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all four bets gives you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you are able to not win on the 2nd bet 5 times for each favorable streak of 4 wagers and still are even.
