The straight line is a representation of the event--the points are the representation of a trend/pattern or the results. Regardless of what they are labeled by each of us, they are really just the results here. There are no issues of point values or why a certain side stuck or cut according to numbers (final hand point values), etc.
Displacement of positions of the points/results from a perfectly straight line, where as the Players are placed on top and the Bankers are placed on the bottom. A perfectly balanced straight line will be BPBPBPBPBPBPBPBP, etc., the whole shoe or BBPPBBPPBBPPBBPPBBPP, etc., the whole shoe. Both are extremely rare and only happen once in a great while. I have seen each happen, one time only in 35 years of playing the game.
Fewer points are naturally easier to get and happen all shoe long of course, 1's and 2's. The real question(s) always come about with the 3's and greater repeating winning hands.
As you can see from my notes attached, which is one shoe I played in sample mode just now and my notes converting it to a straight-line chart to show the alignments and clustering. To me, there is usually a regression to the mean, which in playing baccarat would be the straight line all the way across.
I hope you can understand what I am saying, as real world results are not mathematical points or mathematical reasoning why something happened in baccarat. Because, whatever cards are remaining in the shoe--they do not favor one side more than the other. Meaning, any card can be of value to any side to increase to decrease the value of it. Since there are no optional draws in baccarat and the player can wager on either side, there is no advantage to any point value of the cards left in the shoe to predict what will happen based upon mathematical numbers.
On the average, most shoes will even out at the end or somewhere along the shoe, usually more than once. Meaning, the total numbers of Bankers and the total numbers of Player hands that have won. Also, there is usually a regression to the mean with the numbers concerning 3's and greater.
I cannot post the attachment I scanned in, my network is down as my server is linked to another computer that runs my printer where I scanned the documents. Probably Monday as I am having trouble to reset it.

Why your game of choice is baccarat?
The whole game is just a part of roulette EC's (black/red,even/odd,low/high)
On craps you have dice setting/influencing, on blackjack you have basic strategy and counting, on roulette the law of thirds and plethora of bet varieties.
Don't get me wrong, but I just wonder why would one choose baccarat from all table games.
Blue Angel, you can play the 'law of third' on Baccarat if you like. Take Sputnik's March for example. It's exactly the same premise where one of the three states can go missing for a long time. Throw in the fact there is no 0 or 00 and anybody would have to think twice about playing roulette if they are not just out for a bit of fun and prefer the excitement of the wheel. Suppose you are using a positive progression 1-2-4, in Baccarat, it doesn't matter if the tie comes in. In Roulette, you are giving the house three chances to spin a green and it will cost you.
cheers

It goes back to the early days of gambling in Atlantic City, I wrote about some of it in my Blog. I was playing since the 80's and actually my x-wife's friends got me involved. I was a blackjack player at the time. Played roulette and craps plenty, hell Dice we played plenty in NYC at the illegal casinos both in Queens and Brooklyn run by the Italian's as well as the Chinatown, down by Mott Street in Manhattan run by the Chinese Triads. Played in Atlantic City, didn't do anything for me.
As far as Baccarat, it is head and tails over the odds of both roulette and craps IMO.
On a side not, as far as the martingale whether it is on banker or player or red/black until you win, can easily on either one, bankrupt you.
I guess the same question can go for cars. My partner in the business is a Chevy freak. I am partial to Fords. I have a 1960's Mustang and he has a 1960's Camaro. He would never ever own a Mustang and I would never own a Camaro.

The vast majority of Asians are fond of card games, especially baccarat.
The reason is because China was the inventor of card games, money-notes and fireworks.
Therefore it has a long origin this tradition.
However, I'm not Asian... 8)
Baccarat is Italian/French origins. I am Italian. However, I used to own a French/Thai restaurant in NYC, LOL. Now my friend is trying to get me to eat fried snakes. I am fond of Sonic. Hope you understand.
