Punto Banco Principles

Baccarat banque is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at face value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the total of the cards, although the 1st number is ignored. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus six equals 11; ditch the first ‘1′).

A 3rd card will be dealt using the rules below:

- If the player or bank achieves a score of 8 or nine, both players hold.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, he takes a card. Players otherwise stand.

- If the gambler stays, the banker takes a card on a value lower than five. If the player hits, a guide is used to decide if the house stays or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The better of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a five percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out once you leave the game so be sure to still have cash left over just before you leave). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for a tie typically pay 8:1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Avoid putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8:1)

Bet on properly baccarat gives pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method

As with all games punto banco has a few familiar misunderstandings. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of future actions. Tracking previous results at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary desires.

The most familiar and almost certainly the most acknowledged plan is the one, three, two, six tactic. This method is employed to build up profits and minimizing losses.

Begin by placing one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will have 6 on the game table, subtract four so you have two on the third round. Should you win the 3rd round, deposit two on the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th wager.

Should you lose on the first round, you take a hit of 1. A win on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the 1st two with a defeat on the 3rd gives you with a take of two. And success on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to squander the 2nd bet five times for every favorable run of four bets and in the end, experience no loss.
