Punto Banco Standards
Punto banco is bet on with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at their printed number while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, although the 1st number is dropped. e.g., a hand of five and 6 has a total of one (5 plus six = 11; dump the initial ‘one’).
A 3rd card can be dealt using the following rules:
- If the player or banker has a score of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has less than 5, she takes a card. Players stands otherwise.
- If the gambler stands, the bank hits on a total less than 5. If the player hits, a guide is employed to figure out if the house stays or hits.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The bigger of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (even money less a 5 percent rake. Commission are tracked and cleared out once you depart the game so make sure you have cash around just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie normally pays eight to one but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a poor bet as a tie occurs lower than one in every 10 rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 versus 8:1)
Wagered on properly punto banco provides pretty decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Punto Banco Method
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has some common false impressions. One of which is the same as a false impression in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Recording past results on a chart is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper needs.
The most established and probably the most successful plan is the 1-3-2-6 technique. This plan is employed to maximize earnings and limit losses.
Begin by wagering one unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 units on the second bet. If you succeed you will now have 6 on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the 3rd wager. Should you win the third round, put down two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
If you lose on the first wager, you take a loss of one. A profit on the first bet followed by a loss on the second creates a hit of 2. Success on the first 2 with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And wins on the initial 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you are even. Winning at all four wagers leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to lose the second bet five instances for each favorable streak of 4 rounds and still experience no loss.
