A tie returns Banker and Player bets.
"House edge": the share of each bet the house keeps on average. No betting system changes it.
How it is worked out
Every round follows the fixed punto banco drawing rules, and every possible combination of cards from the shoe is counted, with its chance.
The results are compared with the published tables of the Wizard of Odds, to the digits they print, and the dice games with a second, independent count of every roll. If a single figure differs, the page is not published.
