Punto Banco Regulations
Punto banco is bet on with 8 decks of cards in a dealing shoe. Cards under ten are valued at their printed value and with 10, J, Q, K are zero, and Ace is 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker’, the ‘player’, or on a tie (these are not really people; they just represent the 2 hands that are dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘house’ and ‘gambler’. The value for every hand is the sum of the two cards, however the first number is dumped. For example, a hand of 5 and six has a total of one (five plus six = 11; drop the 1st ‘1′).
A 3rd card could be given using the following rules:
- If the gambler or house has a total of eight or 9, the two players stay.
- If the player has less than five, he takes a card. Players holds otherwise.
- If the player stands, the house hits on 5 or less. If the gambler hits, a guide is used to determine if the house stays or takes a card.

The better of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the bank payout 19 to 20 (equal cash less a five percent commission. Commission are recorded and paid off when you leave the table so make sure you still have funds left over before you quit). Winning wagers on the player pays out at one to one. Winning wagers for tie frequently pays 8:1 but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is a bad wager as a tie occurs less than one in every ten rounds. Be wary of betting on a tie. Although odds are substantially better for 9:1 vs. 8:1)
Gambled on correctly baccarat chemin de fer gives fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

As with all games punto banco has some common myths. One of which is close to a myth in roulette. The past is not a fore-teller of future actions. Tracking previous outcomes at a table is a bad use of paper and an affront to the tree that gave its life for our stationary desires.
The most familiar and likely the most favorable plan is the one, three, two, six technique. This method is used to build up profits and minimizing losses.
Begin by betting 1 dollar. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the game table for a total of three units on the second bet. If you win you will now have six on the table, remove 4 so you are left with 2 on the third round. Should you come away with a win on the 3rd bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth round.
Should you don’t win on the first wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the initial wager followed by a loss on the second creates a loss of two. Success on the 1st two with a hit on the third provides you with a take of 2. And success on the 1st 3 with a hit on the fourth means you balance the books. Succeeding at all 4 bets gives you with 12, a take of ten. This means you can squander the second wager five instances for every favorable streak of 4 wagers and still experience no loss.
