Baccarat betting strategy
Playing Baccarat Online
A foolproof baccarat strategy is like fool’s gold. It’s not worth the price. That hasn’t stopped people from trying to develop one though. All kind of strange, wild, and marvelous theories have been developed that promise to be the best yet. Be wary. Baccarat is a game of luck, not mathematics, predictions, or probability. A strategy that works 100% hasn’t been developed yet.
Use common sense. That may sound easy, but in baccarat (as well as other casino games) when you start playing, common sense tends to go to sleep. Your eyes focus on the table, your mind is praying for the right cards or numbers to come up, and suddenly you’re caught up in the game.
Two basic “common sense” rules are important:
When you’re winning, enjoy the ride and get out when you’re up. You won’t win forever, and it’s too easy to mindlessly keep playing as you lose, hoping that the streak of luck will change back again. Greed can be dangerous: quit while you’re ahead and be glad with what you’ve won. Winning streaks don’t last that long, but while they last they can be lucrative.
When you’re losing, don’t chase the losses. Before you start to play, set an amount that you’re prepared to lose – and stick with it. Whatever you do, don’t go to the bank, the ATM, or the bank manager for a loan. When you’re losing, you’re losing. When you’ve lost your luck, the only thing that can happen is bigger losses, and headache and heartache that you’ve blown money you need for rent and food.D’Alembert Baccarat Strategy
D’Alembert, an 18th century theorist, proposed that if there were only two possibilities to chance, when one of those probabilities turned up more frequently than the other, the other probability would run true. So according to this theory, if a person flipped a coin 20 times, and the first fifteen came up tails, heads would be sure to come up soon due to the 50/50 nature of chance. After all, a coin can only fall in one of two ways: heads or tails.
This theory led D’Alembert to conclude that the best strategy is to raise your bet by one unit if you lose, and lower your bet by on unit if you win. This is called the D’Alembert Strategy, and it only comes into effect when you’ve lost a round. Once you’ve recovered your original bet, go back to your original wager. The goal is to win one unit at a time, and build your bankroll steadily. This system works when the player bets against the dealer, and it can also be used when you bet red/black on the roulette wheel. Look at the pyramid chart below for a better understanding of the strategy.
