Punto Banco Principles

Baccarat banque is bet on with eight decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below ten are valued at face value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, although the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and six has a value of one (five plus 6 equals eleven; ignore the initial ‘1′).

A additional card might be given using the rules below:

- If the gambler or house has a score of eight or 9, both players hold.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, she hits. Players holds otherwise.

- If the gambler stands, the banker takes a card on 5 or less. If the gambler hits, a table is employed to determine if the banker stays or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The larger of the two scores wins. Winning wagers on the house pay out 19:20 (equal money minus a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you leave the game so be sure to still have cash left before you leave). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie typically pay eight to one but occasionally nine to one. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten hands. Avoid wagering on a tie. However odds are substantially better for nine to one vs. eight to one)

Played properly baccarat chemin de fer gives pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Method

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of common false impressions. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future events. Keeping track of previous results at a table is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and probably the most acknowledged plan is the one, three, two, six tactic. This tactic is deployed to build up winnings and minimizing risk.

Begin by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the table, remove 4 so you are left with 2 on the third wager. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, deposit two on the four on the table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth round.

Should you do not win on the initial bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second causes a loss of 2. Success on the 1st two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And success on the 1st 3 with a loss on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all 4 rounds gives you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you can give up the 2nd bet five times for every successful streak of 4 rounds and still balance the books.
