Punto Banco Rules and Scheme

[ English ]

Baccarat Regulations

Punto banco is bet on with 8 decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are counted at their printed number while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).

Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the total of the cards, although the beginning number is discarded. For example, a hand of five and six has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 equals eleven; drop the first ‘1′).

A additional card will be given using the following rules:

- If the gambler or banker achieves a score of eight or 9, both players hold.

- If the gambler has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player stays, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the player takes a card, a guide is used to figure out if the banker stands or hits.

Punto Banco Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores wins. Winning wagers on the bank pay out 19:20 (even payout minus a 5 percent rake. Commission are tracked and paid off once you quit the game so be sure to still have cash around just before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie typically pays out at 8:1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a bad bet as ties occur lower than 1 in every 10 rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

Gambled on correctly baccarat provides relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Banque Strategy

As with all games punto banco has a few common false impressions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events yet to happen. Keeping track of past outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.

The most common and almost certainly the most acknowledged method is the one, three, two, six technique. This tactic is employed to maximize earnings and minimizing losses.

Start by placing 1 unit. If you win, add another to the two on the table for a sum of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will have six on the table, take away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd round. If you succeed on the third round, deposit two to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth round.

Should you lose on the first round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the second causes a hit of 2. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third provides you with a profit of 2. And success on the first three with a loss on the fourth means you are even. Winning at all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to not win on the second bet 5 times for each favorable streak of four rounds and still are even.
