Punto Banco Regulations
Punto banco is played with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at their printed number and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and A is one. Bets are made on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two cards are dealt to both the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand is the sum total of the cards, however the 1st number is dumped. e.g., a hand of five and 6 has a score of 1 (5 plus 6 equals 11; ignore the initial ‘1′).
A third card could be dealt depending on the following rules:
- If the player or house achieves a total of 8 or nine, both players stand.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, he hits. Players holds otherwise.
- If the gambler holds, the bank hits on a value less than five. If the gambler hits, a guide is employed to figure out if the bank stands or takes a card.

The larger of the two hands wins. Winning wagers on the banker payout 19 to 20 (even money less a 5 percent commission. Commission are tracked and cleared out once you quit the table so be sure to have money left just before you head out). Winning wagers on the gambler pays 1 to 1. Winning wagers for tie usually pays out at eight to one but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a awful bet as ties occur less than one in every 10 hands. Be cautious of putting money on a tie. Although odds are astonishingly greater for 9:1 versus 8:1)
Played properly baccarat banque offers generally decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Banque Method
As with all games punto banco has quite a few accepted misconceptions. One of which is similar to a false impression in roulette. The past is not an indicator of events about to happen. Recording past results at a table is a bad use of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our paper desires.
The most accepted and definitely the most acknowledged course of action is the one, three, two, six tactic. This technique is used to maximize profits and limit losses.
Start by wagering 1 unit. If you succeed, add one more to the two on the game table for a sum total of three chips on the second bet. Should you succeed you will now have six on the game table, take away four so you are left with two on the third wager. Should you win the third bet, put down two on the 4 on the table for a total of six on the 4th wager.
Should you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a loss on the 2nd creates a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 with a hit on the third provides you with a take of two. And wins on the initial 3 with a defeat on the 4th means you experience no loss. Winning at all four wagers leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you are able to give up the 2nd bet 5 instances for every favorable run of four bets and in the end, experience no loss.
