Punto Banco Regulations
Baccarat is enjoyed with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are valued at face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The score for each hand is the sum of the two cards, however the beginning digit is dropped. e.g., a hand of 5 and six has a value of 1 (5 plus 6 = eleven; dump the first ‘1′).
A additional card might be dealt depending on the rules below:
- If the gambler or bank has a value of 8 or nine, both players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the gambler holds, the bank takes a card on five or lower. If the gambler hits, a guide is employed to see if the house stands or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The greater of the two hands wins. Winning bets on the house payout 19:20 (even money minus a five percent rake. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out once you quit the game so ensure you have funds left over before you depart). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at 1 to 1. Winning wagers for tie typically pays 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as a tie occurs lower than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid betting on a tie. However odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. eight to one)
Gambled on properly baccarat offers relatively decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Method
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has a handful of general misunderstandings. One of which is similar to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of future events. Keeping track of past results on a chart is a poor use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and likely the most successful plan is the one-three-two-six method. This technique is deployed to maximize winnings and minimizing risk.
Start by betting 1 dollar. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will have 6 on the game table, take away four so you keep two on the 3rd round. If you come away with a win on the 3rd wager, deposit 2 on the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.
Should you lose on the first wager, you take a hit of one. A win on the first bet followed by a loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Success on the first two with a hit on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And success on the initial three with a defeat on the fourth means you are even. Winning all 4 bets gives you with twelve, a take of 10. This means you are able to give up the 2nd bet five instances for every successful run of four rounds and in the end, balance the books.
