Punto Banco Policies and Scheme
Baccarat Principles
Baccarat chemin de fer is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are worth face value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the sum total of the two cards, but the beginning digit is discarded. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a score of 1 (five plus six = eleven; dump the first ‘1′).
A third card may be given out using the following rules:
- If the player or house has a value of 8 or nine, both players stand.
- If the player has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise hold.
- If the player stands, the banker takes a card on a value lower than five. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to figure out if the house stands or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The better of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the banker pay out 19:20 (even payout minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out when you quit the table so make sure you have funds remaining just before you quit). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie normally pays out at eight to one but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a poor wager as ties occur less than 1 in every ten hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9:1 versus eight to one)
Gambled on properly punto banco offers generally good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Course of Action
As with all games baccarat banque has quite a few established misconceptions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of events about to happen. Recording past outcomes on a sheet of paper is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that surrendered its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and probably the most acknowledged strategy is the one-three-two-six tactic. This method is used to build up earnings and limit losses.
Start by betting one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of three dollars on the second bet. Should you succeed you will have six on the game table, remove four so you keep 2 on the 3rd bet. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, put down two to the four on the game table for a grand total of six on the 4th round.
If you do not win on the initial round, you take a hit of one. A profit on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a hit of two. Wins on the initial 2 with a hit on the 3rd gives you with a profit of 2. And success on the initial three with a defeat on the 4th means you are even. Winning at all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you are able to give up the 2nd bet 5 times for every favorable streak of 4 rounds and still are even.
