Baccarat Practices and Method
Punto Banco Codes
Baccarat is played with 8 decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are counted at face value 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 to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the beginning number is ignored. e.g., a hand of five and six has a score of 1 (five plus six equals eleven; drop the first ‘one’).
A additional card can be given using the following rules:
- If the player or banker achieves a score of eight or nine, both players stand.
- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player stands, the banker takes a card on a total less than 5. If the player hits, a guide is employed to figure out if the banker holds or takes a card.

The larger of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19 to 20 (even payout minus a 5 percent rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you depart the game so be sure to still have cash remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the gambler pay one to one. Winning bets for a tie normally pay 8 to 1 but sometimes 9:1. (This is a poor wager as ties happen less than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for 9:1 versus 8:1)
Wagered on properly baccarat provides fairly decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Course of Action
As with all games punto banco has some general misunderstandings. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Keeping score of past results on a chart is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most common and probably the most successful method is the 1-3-2-6 method. This plan is employed to pump up winnings and limit risk.
Start by betting 1 chip. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a grand total of three units on the second bet. Should you win you will have 6 on the game table, take away four so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd round, put down 2 on the 4 on the table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth bet.
Should you lose on the first round, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the third provides you with a gain of 2. And wins on the 1st three with a defeat on the fourth means you break even. Winning at all 4 wagers leaves you with twelve, a gain of 10. This means you are able to give up the second bet 5 instances for every favorable run of 4 wagers and in the end, balance the books.
