Punto Banco Principles
Punto banco is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are valued at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, although the beginning number is dropped. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of one (5 plus 6 equals eleven; ditch the initial ‘1′).
A 3rd card can be given depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or house achieves a score of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the player has 5 or lower, she hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the gambler stands, the house takes a card on a total less than 5. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to determine if the banker holds or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The larger of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19:20 (equal cash less a five percent commission. Commission are tracked and cleared out once you quit the game so ensure you still have funds remaining before you leave). Winning wagers on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8:1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad bet as ties happen less than one in every 10 hands. Be wary of gambling on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 versus 8 to 1)
Gambled on correctly baccarat offers relatively decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Course of Action
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of established myths. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not a harbinger of future actions. Keeping track of previous results on a chart is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and definitely the most successful strategy is the one, three, two, six plan. This technique is deployed to maximize earnings and minimizing risk.
Start by wagering one chip. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will now have six on the table, subtract four so you have 2 on the 3rd round. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd wager, put down 2 to the four on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second creates a hit of two. Success on the 1st two with a hit on the third gives you with a gain of two. And wins on the initial three with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can lose the second round 5 instances for every favorable streak of four wagers and in the end, balance the books.
