Punto Banco Principles

Baccarat banque is bet on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are valued at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the beginning digit is ignored. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (5 plus 6 = 11; dump the 1st ‘one’).

A third card may be given using the following rules:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of 8 or 9, the two players stay.

- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player stays, the bank hits on 5 or less. If the player hits, a table is used to determine if the house stays or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The higher of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the bank pay out nineteen to Twenty (even money less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you quit the table so be sure to still have cash left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays 1:1. Winning bets for a tie normally pay 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur less than one in every ten hands. Be wary of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 versus eight to one)

Bet on correctly baccarat banque offers fairly decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Punto Banco Scheme

As with all games Baccarat has a handful of general myths. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events about to happen. Keeping score of past results on a page of paper is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.

The most accepted and possibly the most accomplished scheme is the one, three, two, six plan. This tactic is used to maximize earnings and limit risk.

Start by placing 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a sum total of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the game table, pull off 4 so you keep two on the third wager. If you come away with a win on the 3rd round, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the fourth wager.

If you lose on the 1st round, you take a loss of one. A profit on the first wager followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of two. Success on the initial 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a profit of two. And success on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four bets leaves you with 12, a take of 10. This means you are able to give up the second round five times for each favorable run of 4 rounds and in the end, balance the books.
