Punto Banco Regulations and Plan
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Standards
Punto banco is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed number and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the total of the two cards, although the 1st number is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of 1 (5 plus 6 equals eleven; ditch the 1st ‘1′).
A third card can be given using the rules below:
- If the gambler or bank has a value of 8 or 9, both players stay.
- If the player has 5 or less, she takes a card. Players holds otherwise.
- If the player stands, the bank hits on five or lower. If the player hits, a chart is used to determine if the bank stays or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The better of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the house pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and cleared out once you depart the table so be sure to have cash left over just before you leave). Winning wagers on the player pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie frequently pays out at 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a poor wager as ties occur less than one in every 10 rounds. Avoid gambling on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)
Gambled on correctly baccarat banque offers generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Scheme
As with all games Baccarat has a few familiar myths. One of which is the same as a misconception in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future events. Tracking previous outcomes on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper desires.
The most established and almost certainly the most successful method is the one-three-two-six technique. This tactic is deployed to pump up profits and minimizing risk.
Start by betting 1 chip. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have 6 on the game table, pull off 4 so you keep two on the 3rd bet. Should you come away with a win on the third wager, deposit two on the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.
Should you lose on the first round, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the second creates a hit of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you with a profit of 2. And success on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to lose the 2nd bet five instances for each successful streak of 4 wagers and in the end, balance the books.
