Punto Banco Codes
Baccarat banque is wagered on with eight decks in a shoe. Cards valued less than 10 are counted at their printed value while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and A is 1. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘gambler’. The value for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the first number is discarded. For instance, a hand of five and 6 has a total of one (five plus 6 equals 11; ignore the 1st ‘1′).
A additional card may be given out using the following rules:
- If the player or house has a total of 8 or 9, the two players hold.
- If the gambler has less than 5, he hits. Players otherwise stand.
- If the player stands, the house hits on a value lower than five. If the gambler hits, a guide is used to determine if the house stays or takes a card.
Punto Banco Odds
The greater of the 2 hands wins. Winning wagers on the house payout 19:20 (even money minus a 5 percent commission. Commission are recorded and paid off once you depart the table so make sure you still have funds around just before you quit). Winning bets on the gambler pays out at one to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at 8 to 1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad bet as ties happen lower than one in every ten hands. Avoid putting money on a tie. However odds are substantially better for 9:1 versus eight to one)
Played properly punto banco offers relatively good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Chemin de Fer Strategy
As with all games baccarat chemin de fer has quite a few common myths. One of which is the same as a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a prophecy of events yet to happen. Recording past outcomes at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our paper needs.
The most accepted and almost certainly the most accomplished strategy is the one, three, two, six method. This method is deployed to build up winnings and limit risk.
Start by betting one chip. If you succeed, add one more to the 2 on the table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. Should you win you will have 6 on the game table, take away 4 so you have 2 on the third round. Should you win the third wager, put down 2 to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th round.
If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed by a hit on the 2nd brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third provides you with a take of two. And success on the first 3 with a hit on the 4th means you break even. Winning at all 4 wagers gives you with 12, a gain of ten. This means you can not win on the second round 5 instances for every successful run of four bets and still are even.
