Winning Baccarat

Baccarat is the most popular casino game in Asia. This 2 minute video gives you a quick insight as to why that is. With superstitions such as “squeezing” it is easy to see why!

The “Fibonacci Baccarat Betting System” is easy to understand. This audio video clearly explains how it works in a simple manner.

After you listen to this video you will know what the following means :
0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55-89-144-233-377-610-986

The explanation say that it is useful only where the minimum bet is $5 or less. This keeps your exposure to losses much less than the standard Martingale system. This is ideal for people with smaller bankrolls and an aversion to high risk.

This video “How I Cracked Baccarat” has a nice sound track, but it has no facts or information about how the system works. For that information you need to buy the system for 99 Euros.

It does give clues about itself though

- It reveals the futility of the majority of systems out there today
- how they cannot possibly address the natural play of the game
- The winning ratio is 90%+
- you will be using a scoresheet
- I use the Martingale money management method
- Stop loss play is also practised and smart bankroll application
- This technique is strictly for land based casinos on
- you can net between 4-6 unit’s per shoe with very little stress

It appears to be a “Limited Progressive Baccarat Betting System”.

24 Karat Baccarat System

There is very little verifiable information about the 24 Karat Baccarat System. In fact, the price of the actual system is unknown. You are only quoted the price of the “tester” which is $49.95

The tester includes a practice module “to help you learn Baccarat by practicing the rules in a graphical environment” and “it corrects you when you make a mistake”. This could very well just be a glorified way of saying it is a baccarat tutor that assists you to learn the basic rules of the game. While you should always know the rules of the game you are playing, you do not have any choice as to whether or not you will take a card. The rules of the game dictate if you get the next card or if the banker gets the next card. You only choices are how much to bet and who to bet it on.

The claim for the actual system is that “You can make more than $500 per shoe with ease” and “As a matter of fact, you will be making $500+ per shoe most of the time”.

The advertising alludes to a similarity with blackjack card counting. However, without actual details or clues about what makes up the system, I could never recommend it. There is also a “24 Karat Baccarat Plus System” which is supposed to be the free update.

Is there any “Winning Baccarat System” that can guarantee you will always win when you play baccarat?

Sorry, but the answer is NO. Baccarat is a simple game to learn and it is fun to play. However, the rules in baccarat are set. The player does not have any decisions when it comes to playing the game!

The smart baccarat player is actually a smart baccarat bettor. Winning or losing at baccarat all depends upon how many times you bet on the winning hand. Consider one part of that statement a moment. “Bet on the winning hand”. Someone will always win the game and you can bet with that person.

The essence of any baccarat system tells you who to bet on and how much you should bet.

The Martingale System

This system is all about the amount of your bet. The Martingale system tells you to make a standard bet amount. If you win, you repeat the same bet.

Whenever you lose a bet, you double your bet amount on the next hand. If you win the second bet you then revert back to your standard bet amount. If you lose the second bet, you again double the amount you
just bet. If you can keep doubling your bet after every loss you cannot lose, unless one of two things happen.

When you hit a bad streak of continuous losses this system may fall apart. You may run out of money.
Or you may have reached the table betting maximum and cannot double your previous bet. You can reduce this risk by having a large bankroll and nerves of steel. You can also play at a table with a high maximum bet. However, you cannot totally escape these two limiting factors and are thus still open to a loss.

For example, lets assume that your basic standard bet is $5. After you lose the first bet, you would then bet $10. If you continue losing, your next bets would be $20, $40, $80, $160, $320, $640 $1,280 etc. If you got to the $640 bet level, your losses thus far would have been $635  ($5+$10+$20+$40+$80+$160+$320). At that point your bankroll would have had to be at least $1,275 ($635+$640). The real trouble starts when you lose that $640 bet. You may have run out of money or reached the table maximum.

When you are on a winning streak you will continuously be taking your win off the table and adding to your bankroll. If your playing session starts off with many wins, your bankroll will be increasing in $5 increments.
However, if you start with a losing streak, you may be done sooner than you expected.

The anti-martingale system is similar but opposite in nature. This variation tells you to double your bet after a win. In essence you ‘let it ride’ until you decide to take back some of your winnings. This is meant to help you take advantage of a winning streak and reduce your losses in a losing streak. The difficulty lies in deciding at what point you want remove your winnings from the table and start over.

Other Systems

Most winning baccarat systems strategies involve variations on the Martingale system of varying your bet amount. One such system,  advertised for $169.95 is called the “Baccarat Cash Flow” system. Undoubtedly this system uses a modified Martingale system which limits the number of times you would double your basic bet. This apparently is designed to counter one of the major drawbacks of the Martingale system. With a standard bet of $5, this system requires a minimum bankroll of $750 to use it.

Choosing A System

The system you decide to use depends upon your personality and what you perceive to be right at the time. If you are a positive person you may like the anti-martingale approach where you take advantage of winning. This system will lead to you higher but more volatile wins.

A slower, more negative approach is the regular martingale system where you are more concerned about constantly recouping losses. This approach increases your bankroll bet by bet.

Practice Your System

Regardless of what system you choose to use, you should practice with free games. This will give you a better notion of how high your bets can go and what standard bet amount is best for you. After a while you will appreciate the differences on each approach as well as their risks and limitations.

That’s all for now. Later I will be adding more about the “follow the shoe” and “every other” betting systems.

Baccarat is a very easy game to understand and play. This is the standard Baccarat game, also known as Punto Banco. Each game is played with a new set of 8 regular decks. The objective of the game is to guess which hand will win, the player’s or the dealer’s.

There are three different bets: Player, Dealer and Tie. A player can bet on any single bet or combination of bets

• The Player bet pays even money if the player hand wins.
• The Dealer bet pays even money less a 5% commission if the dealer hand wins.
• The Tie bet pays 9 for 1 (8 to 1) if there is a tie

In case of a tie between the hands, the Player and Dealer bets are returned to the player. The player and dealer are given two cards each. Then, if the player or dealer has 8 or 9, no more cards are dealt. Else if the sum of the player’s hand is 5 or less, he gets a third card.

When the player is finished, it is decided whether the dealer should get a third card or not.
