Baccarat Banque Policies
Baccarat banque is gambled on with 8 decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then dealt to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum of the cards, although the first number is dumped. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a score of 1 (five plus six = 11; ditch the first ‘1′).
A third card might be dealt based on the following rules:
- If the player or banker has a value of eight or nine, both players stand.
- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players stands otherwise.
- If the gambler stays, the house takes a card on 5 or less. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is used to decide if the bank stands or hits.
Baccarat Banque Odds
The bigger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19 to 20 (equal money minus a 5% rake. The Rake is tracked and paid off when you quit the game so ensure you still have money left over just before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for tie normally pays out at eight to one but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad bet as ties occur lower than one in every ten hands. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)
Played properly punto banco provides relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Banque Strategy
As with all games punto banco has a few general false impressions. One of which is the same as a absurdity in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future events. Recording past results at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.
The most established and probably the most favorable method is the one-three-two-six technique. This method is employed to pump up earnings and limit losses.
Begin by wagering one unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have 6 on the table, subtract 4 so you are left with two on the 3rd wager. If you succeed on the third bet, add two to the four on the game table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th round.
Should you do not win on the first wager, you take a loss of one. A profit on the 1st round followed by a hit on the second creates a hit of 2. Success on the first two with a loss on the 3rd provides you with a profit of two. And success on the initial 3 with a loss on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all 4 wagers gives you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you are able to give up the second bet 5 instances for each successful run of 4 rounds and still experience no loss.
