Punto Banco Rules and Strategy


Baccarat Policies

Baccarat banque is wagered on with eight decks in a shoe. Cards valued less than ten are worth their printed number and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they simply represent the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is dumped. For example, a hand of five and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus six equals 11; drop the first ‘one’).

A additional card will be dealt using the following rules:

- If the player or house has a score of eight or nine, the two players hold.

- If the player has less than 5, she hits. Players otherwise stand.

- If the player stands, the house takes a card on a total less than 5. If the player hits, a chart is employed to see if the house stays or hits.

Baccarat Banque Odds

The bigger of the 2 totals wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19:20 (equal money less a 5% commission. The Rake is kept track of and cleared out once you quit the table so ensure you have funds around just before you head out). Winning bets on the player pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for tie normally pays eight to one but on occasion 9:1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than 1 in every 10 hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for nine to one versus 8:1)

Bet on correctly punto banco offers fairly decent odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Punto Banco Scheme

As with all games Baccarat has some accepted misconceptions. One of which is close to a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of future outcomes. Tracking previous outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.

The most common and probably the most acknowledged method is the one-three-two-six method. This technique is used to build up profits and minimizing losses.

Start by placing one unit. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a sum total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will now have six on the game table, remove four so you keep two on the third bet. If you succeed on the 3rd bet, deposit two on the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth round.

Should you lose on the first wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first wager followed by a loss on the second causes a hit of 2. Wins on the initial two with a defeat on the 3rd provides you with a gain of 2. And success on the 1st 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Succeeding at all four rounds gives you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can squander the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and in the end, break even.
