Baccarat Tactics
IF you have been following us in the past few Baccarat articles, you would have known that winning at Baccarat is nearly a coin toss but with a slightly stronger emphasis or advantage towards the dealer. This is where the dealer has a slightly higher percentage due to the fact that they are drawing later than the player as opposed to the other way around. Aside from that, many people also tend to bet on the tie amount assuming that their calculation is correct.
However, you would have heard from many people in the market mention that Baccarat can be beater so long as you play hands right with some mathematical calculation with the tie bet or the player bet. Well, we are here to burst that buddle. It pains us to say but in the long run, the banker will always win the hand. Let us explain to you why some tactics that these gurus try to ask you to implement will not work in the long run.
Myth Strategies
There has always been myths going around saying that there are unique ways of how a player can beat the house and take away huge spoils. We would say that winning in Baccarat in the short term is definitely possible but is not sustainable. All players at the table is only allowed to make the decision whether to stand of fold their bets. So, it is actually a 50/50 decision for the player to decide on. The strategies that many have put forward about how to win in the long run are just myths. Here would be our take on why their can be debunked.
Card Counting
Many people who have watched the Hangover movie series would have thought that this can be implemented in the real world. Well, unfortunately, it simply won’t last long if you do it this way. The math has been done by the casino that even if you were to be able to count cards. Your edge in counting cards in the game, simply will not make you enough profit to actually take home a sizable earning.
Varying Bet Sizes
This is where some players suggest for players to vary their bet sizes before making a play into the game depending on the previous results of the pot. For example, you would first start with a higher bet then progressive drop it lower because the casino wants to earn the money that it has loss back. However, since you are dropping your bets significantly. They would never be able to earn their money back in time. The flip can also be said where you start small and gradually go big. This is a very common Baccarat strategy. However, the downside that people don’t seem to understand is that every bet probability is mutually exclusive to one another. This means that even though, you are able to win the previous round. It doesn’t determine the outcome of the next round as all permutations are reset to their original default when playing.
Table Jumping
This is another myth that has been going around in the market where there is a strong table and a weak table. So, player would jump from one table to the other hoping to catch a lucky break and then referring the same tactic to their other friends. Like we said in the beginning, you may be able to win in the short run by catching these lucky breaks.
However, eventually your luck will either run out and you start losing bets to the house, or you will be wise or lucky enough to jump from the table and end the game while your chip stack is ahead of the curb, and you are able to take home some extra earnings with you for a special dinner.
In short, even with the above-mentioned Baccarat tactics, there is just absolutely no way that one can win in the long run in Baccarat, and it gives you almost the same probabilities and structure as slots.
