Punto Banco Policies and Strategy

[ English ]

Baccarat Banque Codes

Punto banco is bet on with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the total of the cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a score of 1 (five plus 6 equals eleven; drop the first ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be given using the rules below:

- If the gambler or house achieves a score of 8 or nine, both players stand.

- If the player has five or lower, she takes a card. Players stands otherwise.

- If the gambler holds, the banker hits on 5 or lower. If the gambler takes a card, a chart is employed to see if the banker stands or hits.

The better of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the bank pay out nineteen to Twenty (even payout less a 5% commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you quit the table so be sure to have cash around just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pay one to one. Winning bets for a tie typically pay 8:1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one versus eight to one)

Wagered on properly baccarat chemin de fer offers pretty decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method

As with all games punto banco has quite a few established misconceptions. One of which is similar to a absurdity in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future actions. Tracking previous results on a chart 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 acknowledged course of action is the one-three-two-six method. This technique is deployed to pump up winnings and limit risk.

Start by wagering 1 unit. If you succeed, add another to the two on the table for a total of 3 dollars on the second bet. If you win you will hold six on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the 3rd bet. Should you succeed on the 3rd wager, add two on the four on the game table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th wager.

If you do not win on the first bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the initial bet followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of 2. Success on the first two with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of 2. And wins on the initial three with a loss on the fourth means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to squander the second wager 5 times for each favorable run of four bets and in the end, break even.
