Punto Banco Rules
Punto banco is enjoyed with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the cards, although the 1st digit is dropped. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of one (5 plus 6 equals 11; ditch the first ‘one’).
A additional card can be dealt using the following rules:
- If the player or bank has a total of 8 or 9, the two players hold.
- If the gambler has 5 or lower, she takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player holds, the banker takes a card on a value lower than 5. If the player takes a card, a table is used to decide if the house holds or takes a card.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Odds
The larger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the banker pay out nineteen to Twenty (equal cash less a 5 percent commission. Commission are tracked and paid off once you quit the table so ensure you still have funds around before you depart). Winning wagers on the player pays out at 1:1. Winning wagers for a tie usually pay 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs lower than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for nine to one versus 8:1)
Played correctly baccarat gives generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Scheme
As with all games punto banco has a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past isn’t an indicator of future outcomes. Keeping score of previous outcomes on a chart is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most established and likely the most acknowledged scheme is the 1-3-2-6 tactic. This method is used to build up winnings and limit risk.
Start by betting 1 unit. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the game table for a sum total of three units on the second bet. If you succeed you will have 6 on the game table, take away four so you are left with 2 on the 3rd round. If you come away with a win on the third wager, deposit 2 on the four on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.
If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a hit of 1. A win on the 1st round followed by a loss on the second brings about a hit of two. Wins on the first two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a take of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th means you are even. Winning all 4 bets leaves you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you are able to give up the 2nd bet five instances for each favorable run of 4 rounds and in the end, balance the books.
