Punto Banco Regulations

Punto banco is played with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards valued less than ten are worth face value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, however the 1st number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and six has a value of one (5 plus six equals 11; drop the 1st ‘one’).

A third card might be given using the following rules:

- If the player or house achieves a value of eight or 9, both players stay.

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

- If the player stands, the house hits on a value lower than five. If the player takes a card, a table is employed to determine if the bank holds or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out 19 to 20 (even money less a five percent rake. Commission are kept track of and cleared out when you depart the game so be sure to have cash left before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays out at 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pay 8:1 but on occasion nine to one. (This is a awful bet as ties happen less than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for nine to one versus 8 to 1)

Bet on correctly baccarat provides generally good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy

As with all games punto banco has a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of events about to happen. Tracking past results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.

The most accepted and almost certainly the most accomplished strategy is the one, three, two, six method. This method is deployed to maximize profits and minimizing risk.

Begin by wagering 1 dollar. If you win, add another to the two on the game table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will have six on the game table, remove 4 so you keep 2 on the 3rd wager. Should you succeed on the 3rd bet, deposit two to the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.

If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the first bet followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of two. Wins on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a hit on the fourth means you experience no loss. Winning at all four rounds gives you with 12, a take of ten. This means you are able to lose the 2nd wager 5 instances for each successful streak of 4 wagers and still break even.
