Punto Banco Practices and Method
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Principles
Baccarat banque is wagered on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below ten are counted at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is 1. 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 hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is dumped. For instance, a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; ditch the first ‘one’).
A additional card could be given using the rules below:
- If the gambler or banker has a value of 8 or nine, the two players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player stands, the banker hits on 5 or less. If the gambler takes a card, a table is used to see if the bank holds or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The better of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19 to 20 (even payout minus a 5% rake. Commission are recorded and cleared out once you quit the table so be sure to still have funds left just before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie frequently pay 8:1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten rounds. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. 8:1)
Bet on correctly baccarat gives generally good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games Baccarat has some common myths. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous results at a table is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that was cut down for our stationary desires.
The most accepted and probably the most favorable scheme is the one-three-two-six method. This technique is used to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.
Begin by wagering 1 unit. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the table for a grand total of 3 dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will have 6 on the table, pull off 4 so you keep 2 on the third bet. If you come away with a win on the third round, add two on the four on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth wager.
If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first wager followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of two. Success on the initial two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of 2. And wins on the first three with a hit on the fourth means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a gain of 10. This means you will be able to squander the second wager 5 instances for every favorable streak of 4 rounds and still experience no loss.
