Baccarat Banque Standards
Baccarat banque is bet on with 8 decks in a dealing shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at face value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is one. Bets are made on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand is the sum of the cards, however the first number is dropped. For instance, a hand of 5 and six has a score of one (5 plus 6 = eleven; ditch the initial ‘1′).
A third card may be dealt using the rules below:
- If the player or house achieves a total of eight or 9, the two players hold.
- If the player has less than five, she hits. Players otherwise stay.
- If the gambler holds, the house takes a card on 5 or lower. If the player hits, a table is used to determine if the bank holds or hits.
Punto Banco Odds
The better of the 2 hands wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19:20 (even payout less a 5% commission. Commission are recorded and cleared out when you leave the game so make sure you have cash around before you leave). Winning wagers on the gambler pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pays out at 8:1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a bad bet as ties happen lower than 1 in every ten rounds. Be wary of wagering on a tie. Although odds are substantially greater for nine to one vs. 8:1)

Baccarat Banque Method
As with all games punto banco has a few general myths. One of which is the same as a misunderstanding in roulette. The past isn’t a fore-teller of future actions. Keeping score of past results at a table is a poor use of paper and a snub to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most established and probably the most favorable plan is the 1-3-2-6 plan. This plan is used to pump up winnings and minimizing losses.
Start by wagering one dollar. If you succeed, add another to the two on the game table for a grand total of 3 chips on the second bet. If you succeed you will retain 6 on the table, remove 4 so you keep 2 on the third bet. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd round, deposit two to the four on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth wager.
If you lose on the initial bet, you take a hit of 1. A profit on the first bet followed by a loss on the second brings about a hit of 2. Success on the 1st 2 with a defeat on the third gives you with a gain of two. And wins on the first 3 with a hit on the fourth means you are even. Succeeding at all four rounds leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you are able to give up the 2nd round five times for each successful streak of four wagers and in the end, break even.
