Baccarat Banque Rules
Baccarat banque is played with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards below 10 are valued at their printed value while at the same time Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum of the 2 cards, however the 1st digit is dropped. e.g., a hand of 5 and 6 has a value of 1 (5 plus six equals 11; dump the first ‘one’).
A 3rd card could be dealt depending on the following rules:
- If the gambler or banker achieves a score of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the player has five or less, he takes a card. Players stays otherwise.
- If the player holds, the house takes a card on a value less than five. If the player takes a card, a chart is employed to see if the bank stands or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The higher of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the bank payout nineteen to Twenty (even money less a 5 percent commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you depart the game so ensure you still have cash around just before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays 8:1 but sometimes nine to one. (This is a bad bet as ties happen less than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 versus eight to one)

Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games punto banco has quite a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is the same as a myth in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Recording past results on a chart is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our paper desires.
The most accepted and possibly the most successful course of action is the one, three, two, six method. This method is deployed to maximize winnings and minimizing losses.
Begin by placing 1 unit. If you win, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain 6 on the game table, remove 4 so you are left with two on the 3rd wager. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, add 2 to the 4 on the game table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.
Should you lose on the 1st round, you take a hit of one. A profit on the 1st bet followed by a loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Success on the initial two with a defeat on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the 1st three with a hit on the 4th means you are even. Succeeding at all 4 wagers leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you are able to not win on the second bet five times for every successful streak of four wagers and in the end, balance the books.
