Punto Banco Policies and Method


Baccarat Chemin de Fer Principles

Punto banco is gambled on with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under ten are valued at face value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum of the cards, but the 1st number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; drop the initial ‘1′).

A additional card could be dealt using the rules below:

- If the player or banker gets a value of eight or nine, the two players stay.

- If the gambler has 5 or lower, she takes a card. Players otherwise hold.

- If the player stays, the house takes a card on a total lower than 5. If the player hits, a chart is employed to decide if the bank holds or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The larger of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a 5% rake. Commission are kept track of and cleared out when you leave the game so make sure you have funds left over before you head out). Winning wagers on the player pays out at one to one. Winning bets for a tie usually pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)

Wagered on correctly baccarat chemin de fer offers relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Banque Method

As with all games punto banco has quite a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future outcomes. Recording previous outcomes on a chart is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and possibly the most acknowledged plan is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This method is employed to maximize earnings and limit risk.

Start by wagering one unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have six on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the 3rd wager. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, add 2 to the four on the game table for a 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 initial round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the third provides you with a gain of 2. And success on the 1st 3 with a hit on the 4th means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 rounds gives you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you will be able to not win on the second bet 5 times for every successful run of 4 rounds and in the end, break even.
