A lot of you guys have probably heard of Eliot Jacobson. He is a consultant for the casinos on game management and also author of the book ''Advanced Advantage Play''. He also used to have a blog called AP Heat. More recently, his blog posts got transferred over to a site run by 888.
Here is the book....

Here is the 888 site...

One of his main interests was the side bets which are available now in most casinos in one fashion or another. The your Way Egalite side bet is a popular one here in the UK. The dragon side bet is another. He took down a lot of the charts for the counts when he published his book which were on his old blog, however, I notice they appear to be back again on the 888 site.
Anyway, the point of this thread is that I can upload some shoes using real cards with all the characteristics you need to practice/test the counts and see what results you get. Unlike Blackjack, the baccarat tables don't mind someone jotting down notes or whatever on a scorecard. A lot of the counts for the baccarat side bets are also not as difficult as some of the blackjack counting techniques.

The file is pretty self-explanatory
The first shoe runs for 57 hands.
First Player card = 1
First Banker card = 6
Second Player card = 5
Second Banker card = 4
Third Player card = 0 (means no third card for player)
Third Banker card = 4
Player total = 6
Banker total = 4
Player wins 6 vs Banker 4.
(The 10,11,12,13 are face cards)
cheers
Another 50 shoes.
If anybody would like more in this style, just ask!

Thanks Bally.
The Wizard did an analysis on his work. Here is the link: https://wizardofodds.com/games/baccarat/dragon-bet/
Personally, I don't think it's practical. Too many people jump into the card counting nonsense because of the BJ card counting. Good luck and have fun with this.
