Punto Banco Policies

Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with eight decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are counted at face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two cards are dealt to both the ‘house’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the sum of the 2 cards, however the 1st number is dumped. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a value of one (5 plus 6 equals eleven; dump the initial ‘1′).

A 3rd card may be given out based on the following rules:

- If the player or bank has a score of 8 or nine, both players stay.

- If the player has five or less, she hits. Players holds otherwise.

- If the player stays, the bank hits on 5 or lower. If the player hits, a table is employed to determine if the bank holds or takes a card.

Punto Banco Odds

The better of the two totals wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19 to 20 (equal cash less a 5 percent rake. The Rake is recorded and paid off once you depart the game so make sure you have funds left over before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pay 1:1. Winning bets for a tie frequently pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly better for 9 to 1 vs. 8:1)

Played correctly baccarat chemin de fer gives fairly good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Punto Banco Method

As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a few familiar false impressions. One of which is similar to a misconception in roulette. The past is not a prophecy of events about to happen. Tracking past results on a page of paper is a poor use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.

The most common and definitely the most favorable course of action is the one-three-two-six tactic. This plan is used to maximize winnings and limit losses.

Begin by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add 1 more to the two on the game table for a grand total of 3 dollars on the second bet. If you succeed you will hold six on the table, take away 4 so you are left with two on the third round. Should you succeed on the third wager, put down two to the 4 on the game table for a total of six on the fourth wager.

Should you don’t win on the 1st round, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the initial bet followed by a hit on the second creates a hit of two. Wins on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third provides you with a take of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you break even. Succeeding at all 4 wagers leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can squander the second round five times for each favorable streak of four rounds and in the end, are even.
