Punto Banco Standards
Baccarat banque is bet on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at their printed number and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the total of the two cards, however the 1st digit is dropped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus six equals eleven; ignore the first ‘one’).
A third card could be given using the rules below:
- If the player or bank has a value of 8 or nine, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has five or less, she takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player holds, the banker hits on a total less than 5. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to figure out if the bank holds or hits.
Baccarat Banque Odds
The greater of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (equal cash minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and paid off when you quit the table so ensure you have cash left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs less than one in every ten rounds. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9 to 1 versus eight to one)
Played correctly punto banco gives fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method
As with all games Baccarat has quite a few common myths. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events about to happen. Keeping track of previous results at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most accepted and probably the most accomplished plan is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This tactic is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.
Begin by placing one chip. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will retain 6 on the game table, subtract 4 so you keep 2 on the 3rd wager. Should you win the 3rd bet, put down 2 on the four on the game table for a total of six on the 4th round.
Should you do not win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the initial bet followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Success on the initial 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a take of two. And wins on the initial 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Winning all four bets gives you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you will be able to lose the second wager five instances for every successful streak of four rounds and in the end, break even.
