Punto Banco Rules
Punto banco is enjoyed with 8 decks in a dealer’s shoe. Cards valued less than ten are valued at face value and with Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘bank’ and ‘gambler’. The total for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, although the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and six has a total of one (5 plus six = eleven; drop the first ‘1′).
A 3rd card may be dealt using the rules below:
- If the gambler or house achieves a score of 8 or 9, both players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he hits. Players stays otherwise.
- If the gambler holds, the bank takes a card on a value lower than 5. If the gambler takes a card, a guide is used to decide if the banker stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The better of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the banker payout nineteen to Twenty (even payout less a 5% commission. Commission are kept track of and paid off once you depart the table so make sure you have funds remaining just before you head out). Winning bets on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for a tie usually pays 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a awful wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every ten hands. Be cautious of wagering on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 vs. 8 to 1)

Punto Banco Method
As with all games punto banco has some familiar false impressions. One of which is close to a absurdity in roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Recording previous results at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that was cut down for our stationary desires.
The most common and likely the most successful scheme is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This technique is employed to maximize earnings and limit losses.
Start by placing 1 chip. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum total of three dollars on the second bet. Should you win you will retain six on the table, pull off four so you have 2 on the 3rd bet. If you win the 3rd round, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.
Should you lose on the 1st bet, you take a hit of one. A profit on the first round followed by a hit on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a profit of 2. And wins on the 1st 3 with a hit on the 4th means you experience no loss. Winning all 4 wagers gives you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you can squander the second bet five instances for each favorable run of 4 wagers and still experience no loss.
