Baccarat Banque Regulations and Method
Baccarat Rules
Punto banco is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are worth their printed value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the cards, but the first number is dumped. e.g., a hand of five and six has a score of 1 (five plus six equals 11; ditch the initial ‘1′).
A third card will be given depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or 9, the two players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the gambler holds, the bank hits on 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart is used to determine if the house stays or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The larger of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19 to 20 (equal money less a five percent commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you quit the game so ensure you have funds left over just before you quit). Winning wagers on the player pay one to one. Winning wagers for tie typically pays 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly punto banco offers pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Strategy
As with all games punto banco has a few general false impressions. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events about to happen. Recording past outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most familiar and almost certainly the most accomplished method is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This method is deployed to build up profits and limit risk.
Begin by placing one chip. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will have 6 on the game table, subtract 4 so you are left with 2 on the 3rd bet. If you succeed on the third round, add two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
Should you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of 2. Wins on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a profit of two. And wins on the 1st 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you can lose the 2nd round five times for each successful streak of four bets and still are even.
