Baccarat Principles

Punto banco is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are worth face value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum total of the cards, although the first digit is discarded. e.g., a hand of 5 and six has a score of 1 (five plus six equals eleven; ditch the initial ‘1′).

A third card will be dealt based on the following rules:

- If the player or house achieves a total of 8 or nine, both players stand.

- If the gambler has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.

- If the player stays, the bank hits on five or lower. If the gambler hits, a chart is employed to determine if the bank stands or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The better of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5% commission. Commission are kept track of and cleared out when you quit the table so make sure you still have funds left before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays out at 8:1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)

Wagered on correctly baccarat banque gives pretty decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Punto Banco Method

As with all games Baccarat has a few accepted false impressions. One of which is similar to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future actions. Recording past results on a chart is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.

The most common and probably the most favorable plan is the one, three, two, six plan. This tactic is employed to maximize earnings and limit risk.

Start by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum of 3 chips on the second bet. If you win you will hold 6 on the game table, pull off 4 so you are left with two on the 3rd round. If you come away with a win on the third bet, put down two to the four on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth round.

Should you do not win on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the 2nd causes a loss of two. Success on the 1st 2 with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a gain of two. And success on the 1st 3 with a loss on the 4th means you are even. Winning at all 4 wagers gives you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can squander the second bet 5 instances for every successful streak of four rounds and still experience no loss.
