Punto Banco Regulations and Strategy
Punto Banco Principles
Punto banco is bet on with 8 decks in a shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the total of the two cards, although the beginning number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a score of 1 (five plus six = eleven; drop the 1st ‘one’).
A additional card will be dealt using the rules below:
- If the player or bank achieves a value of 8 or nine, the two players stand.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player stands, the bank takes a card on a total less than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is used to decide if the bank holds or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The better of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19:20 (equal cash less a 5% commission. Commission are tracked and cleared out when you depart the game so be sure to have money left just before you quit). Winning bets on the player pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pays eight to one but sometimes nine to one. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8:1)
Gambled on properly baccarat banque gives pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events yet to happen. Keeping score of previous results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary desires.
The most familiar and likely the most favorable scheme is the one-three-two-six method. This plan is used to build up profits and minimizing losses.
Start by betting one dollar. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the game table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will have 6 on the game table, remove 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. If you come away with a win on the 3rd round, put down two on the four on the game table for a sum total of six on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the 1st round, you take a hit of one. A win on the initial round followed by a loss on the second creates a hit of two. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a take of 2. And success on the 1st three with a defeat on the 4th means you are even. Winning all 4 rounds leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you can lose the second bet five times for each successful streak of 4 wagers and still balance the books.
