Baccarat Banque Standards
Punto banco is enjoyed with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards below 10 are valued at face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace 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 that are dealt).
Two cards are given to both the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, however the first number is dumped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a value of 1 (five plus six = 11; drop the 1st ‘1′).
A additional card can be given out using the rules below:
- If the player or banker gets a total of 8 or 9, both players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he takes a card. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player holds, the banker hits on a total less than five. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is used to determine if the bank holds or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The bigger of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house payout nineteen to Twenty (equal cash minus a 5% commission. Commission are tracked and paid off when you quit the game so make sure you have funds around just before you leave). Winning bets on the gambler pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie normally pays out at 8:1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties happen lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for nine to one vs. eight to one)
Played properly baccarat banque provides fairly decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Banque Method
As with all games baccarat banque has quite a few familiar misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of future actions. Tracking past results on a chart is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our stationary desires.
The most accepted and likely the most acknowledged method is the one-three-two-six method. This method is deployed to maximize winnings and minimizing risk.
Start by wagering 1 chip. If you succeed, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a sum of three chips on the second bet. If you win you will now have six on the table, take away 4 so you have 2 on the third wager. If you come away with a win on the third round, add 2 to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.
Should you don’t win on the 1st round, you take a loss of one. A profit on the initial wager followed by a hit on the 2nd creates a loss of 2. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the initial three with a hit on the 4th means you are even. Winning all four wagers leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you will be able to give up the 2nd wager 5 instances for each favorable streak of four wagers and still balance the books.
