Baccarat Banque Standards
Punto banco is played with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are counted at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the total of the cards, although the 1st digit is dumped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of one (five plus six = 11; dump the first ‘1′).
A additional card can be given out using the rules below:
- If the player or house achieves a value of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the player has 5 or lower, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the gambler stands, the bank takes a card on a value less than 5. If the player hits, a table is used to decide if the bank holds or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The bigger of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19 to 20 (equal money less a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you quit the table so be sure to still have funds remaining just before you head out). Winning wagers on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie typically pays 8:1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. 8 to 1)
Bet on properly baccarat banque offers generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Method
As with all games punto banco has a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of future actions. Tracking previous results on a chart is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and probably the most accomplished course of action is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This technique is employed to maximize profits and minimizing risk.
Start by betting 1 dollar. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will hold 6 on the game table, pull off four so you have two on the third round. If you succeed on the 3rd round, put down 2 to the 4 on the game table for a total of 6 on the 4th round.
If you do not win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the initial wager followed by a hit on the second brings about a hit of two. Success on the 1st two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of 2. And success on the first three with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all 4 wagers leaves you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you are able to lose the second round five instances for every favorable streak of four bets and still break even.
