Baccarat Regulations and Method
Baccarat Standards
Punto banco is wagered on with eight decks of cards in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are valued at their printed number and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these aren’t really people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the 1st number is dumped. For example, a hand of five and six has a total of 1 (5 plus six equals eleven; dump the 1st ‘1′).
A third card may be dealt based on the following rules:
- If the player or banker achieves a score of eight or nine, the two players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, he takes a card. Players otherwise stay.
- If the player stays, the banker hits on a value lower than five. If the player takes a card, a chart is used to figure out if the house holds or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The bigger of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal money less a five percent rake. Commission are kept track of and cleared out when you quit the game so make sure you have money left just before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pay one to one. Winning wagers for tie normally pays 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a poor wager as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Avoid putting money on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9 to 1 versus 8:1)
Bet on properly baccarat provides generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Punto Banco Scheme
As with all games baccarat banque has quite a few accepted myths. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future events. Recording past outcomes at a table is a waste of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most common and probably the most successful method is the one, three, two, six technique. This tactic is deployed to pump up earnings and minimizing risk.
Begin by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain six on the game table, subtract 4 so you are left with 2 on the third round. Should you succeed on the third bet, deposit 2 to the 4 on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th round.
Should you do not win on the initial wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Wins on the 1st 2 with a hit on the third gives you with a profit of 2. And wins on the 1st 3 with a loss on the fourth means you experience no loss. Succeeding at all 4 bets gives you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you will be able to not win on the 2nd bet 5 instances for every favorable run of 4 bets and in the end, experience no loss.
