Question

What is your baccarat system? I see pros all the time win big money almost never losing...

I know that there is basically no strategy to win money in baccarat but i would like to refer to something!

Answer 1

I play baccarat all the time and I see mixed results. Some people win and some people lose. Baccarat is pretty much a 50/50 coin flip type game. The difference is that the house takes a commission when you bet the banker. Since they take a commission, you know that betting the banker is the best strategy.

Never bet the tie! That is a sucker bet.

Other than that, stick with betting the banker and cross your fingers.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Nobody wins big and almost never loses. There is no such thing as a professional Baccarat player. They may be wealthy and retired and call themselves  professional players but they still lose money on Baccarat. The house has a mathematical edge. They will win the majority of the time. There is no betting system that will change the house advantage.

Someone already mentioned to bet the bank. This is correct, it has a lower house edge than betting player. So why wouldn't you just bet bank every hand.

Answer 3

There is one system in baccarat that is 100% guaranteed to win. Unfortunately you will probably have to stand in the casino for 5-6 years before you get the right conditions and then you have to feel confident that you did not s***w up while watching the table. The payout is high since tie pays 8 to 1 so if you pick a table with a high limit the payout can be $300-400k. The problem is that is less than you'd have made if you just got a job rather then babysitting a table 16 hours a day for 5 years. Not to mention if you s***w up and make a mistake there goes your large wager.

Card counting for baccarat is a waste of time. While baccarat does share the same characteristics as blackjack the effect of is so small that it is not statistically significant.

As such the game is reduced to just guessing. There is no system to predict the outcome of the next hand based on previous hands or patterns.

I rarely play house games but if there is no poker going I might sit down at a baccarat table just to kill time. In those situations I play follow the leader. I simply bet what the previous outcome was. No reason other than the alternative is to try to guess which will just be annoying and frustrating. This way at least it is out of my hands.

If you are intent on playing baccarat I suggest playing a variant called Chemin de Fer. It is next to impossible to find in North America (I've only seen it at private games in Vegas and Detroit but never at a casino) but you can find it in Europe esp in Monte Carlo. This version of baccarat can be beat and is actually quite profitable. I wish we had it in NA as I rarely get to play.

In the long run no one wins at baccarat. The reason it seems everyone has a lot of money is because the game (especially full baccarat not so much mini-baccarat) is played by people who have money and egos. They have a lot of chips because they brought a lot of chips. What you'll often miss is that as they lose chips they replenish them with markers. The house edge is small and people do wager large amounts so when they win it looks like a lot of money but over the long run anyone who has played baccarat seriously has been an overall loser.

Answer 4

If there was a way to always win at any type of gambling then it would not take long before that type of gambling ceased to exist.

Baccarat.  Lets say that there was a way to always beat the house.  Then what motivation does the house have to host the game.  They are not in it to hand out money.  They are in it to make money.

One way to always win would be to cheat.  Of course, the house is always on the lookout for stuff like that.

You may be suffering from selective memory.  You remember seeing people win all the time but you are not remembering their losses.  The losses do not stick out in your memory as well as the wins.
