Punto Banco Practices and Scheme
Punto Banco Rules
Baccarat banque is bet on with 8 decks in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are worth their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the two cards, although the first number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (five plus 6 equals eleven; ignore the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card could be given out using the following rules:
- If the gambler or bank achieves a score of eight or nine, both players stay.
- If the player has less than 5, he hits. Players otherwise stand.
- If the gambler stands, the bank hits on a value lower than 5. If the gambler hits, a table is used to decide if the house stays or hits.
Baccarat Banque Odds
The greater of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19 to 20 (even payout minus a 5 percent commission. The Rake is recorded and cleared out when you quit the game so be sure to have funds remaining just before you quit). Winning wagers on the player pay one to one. Winning bets for tie normally pays out at eight to one but sometimes 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties occur less than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are substantially greater for 9:1 versus 8 to 1)
Wagered on correctly baccarat banque offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Banque Course of Action
As with all games punto banco has a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a false impression in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of future actions. Tracking past results at a table is a waste of paper and an affront to the tree that surrendered its life for our stationary needs.
The most familiar and almost certainly the most accomplished method is the one-three-two-six plan. This plan is used to pump up winnings and limit losses.
Begin by placing one chip. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three dollars on the second bet. If you win you will retain six on the game table, take away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. If you succeed on the third bet, add 2 on the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth bet.
Should you do not win on the 1st round, you take a hit of one. A win on the first round followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the initial two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And success on the first three with a defeat on the fourth means you balance the books. Winning at all 4 bets gives you with twelve, a take of ten. This means you can not win on the 2nd bet five instances for each successful streak of 4 wagers and in the end, experience no loss.
