Punto Banco Practices and Strategy
Baccarat Policies
Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks in a shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the beginning number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a score of one (five plus 6 equals eleven; drop the 1st ‘one’).
A third card will be given depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or house achieves a value of 8 or nine, both players hold.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, he hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player holds, the bank hits on a value less than 5. If the player takes a card, a table is employed to decide if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you depart the game so make sure you have funds around just before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays 1:1. Winning wagers for tie typically pay eight to one but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for nine to one vs. 8 to 1)
Bet on properly baccarat chemin de fer gives fairly decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some common myths. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of events about to happen. Keeping score of past outcomes on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.
The most familiar and possibly the most successful scheme is the one, three, two, six technique. This method is employed to pump up profits and minimizing risk.
Begin by betting 1 unit. 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 have 6 on the game table, remove four so you have two on the third round. Should you win the third round, add two on the four on the table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the initial round, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And wins on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you experience no loss. Winning at all 4 rounds leaves you with 12, a take of 10. This means you are able to lose the second bet five instances for every successful streak of 4 wagers and still balance the books.
