Punto Banco Rules and Strategy


Baccarat Banque Codes

Baccarat is enjoyed with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are worth face value while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the 1st number is dropped. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of one (5 plus six = eleven; ignore the initial ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be dealt depending on the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker achieves a score of eight or nine, both players hold.

- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players holds otherwise.

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

Baccarat Banque Odds

The better of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the bank pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal cash minus a five percent rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out when you depart the table so ensure you have funds remaining before you quit). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays out at eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one versus eight to one)

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

Punto Banco Method

As with all games Baccarat has a few common false impressions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Recording previous outcomes on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.

The most familiar and probably the most favorable scheme is the one, three, two, six tactic. This method is deployed to maximize profits and minimizing losses.

Begin by placing 1 unit. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will now have 6 on the table, subtract four so you are left with two on the third round. If you come away with a win on the third bet, put down two to the four on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.

If you lose on the first wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a loss on the second creates a hit of two. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a profit of 2. And wins on the initial three with a defeat on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all four rounds leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can squander the second wager five instances for each favorable run of 4 wagers and in the end, experience no loss.
