Baccarat Banque Rules
Punto banco is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are valued at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t 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 value for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the 1st number is dropped. For example, a hand of 5 and 6 has a total of one (5 plus 6 equals eleven; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A third card can be given using the following rules:
- If the player or bank has a total of eight or nine, both players stay.
- If the gambler has five or lower, he hits. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player holds, the banker takes a card on 5 or lower. If the gambler hits, a table is employed to decide if the banker holds or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank payout nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5% rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you depart the table so make sure you have funds left before you depart). Winning wagers on the player pays one to one. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a poor wager as a tie occurs less than one in every ten hands. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one versus 8 to 1)
Wagered on properly punto banco offers generally good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Strategy
As with all games baccarat banque has a handful of general myths. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous results at a table is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most familiar and likely the most favorable strategy is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This plan is employed to pump up profits and limit losses.
Start by wagering 1 dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have 6 on the table, remove 4 so you keep 2 on the 3rd bet. Should you win the third round, put down two to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth wager.
If you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of one. A profit on the first round followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of 2. Success on the initial 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a take of 2. And wins on the first three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all four wagers gives you with twelve, a take of ten. This means you will be able to not win on the 2nd wager five times for each favorable streak of 4 wagers and still are even.
