Actually probably not a bad bet for a guy like Assym -he could mark time away while waiting for his "time" or "situation" on banker bets at a high value. And win both ways

Years back there was a cat who claimed to win well and regular running an anti-streaks play betting players side only, hey hey.

Why not? Because it isn't different with betting Banker only, chops only, or repeats only. Nothing special. IMHO it's just another style of play.

And, you are exactly 1,000% right.  There is no difference than winning at Player related decisions, than anything else.  Except some tables of course have 5% Banker vig, except the EZ Bacc tables---but you are right, exactly.

If anyone limits there options, there usually defeat themselves and miss out on many opportunities and personally have not met anyone out of thousands of players that ITLR can prevail on any one betting strategy only in baccarat for more than a few months or so.  All things equal, the game will easily wipe you out playing with wagering one thing only.

If you are playing commission baccarat then a better system is to only bet the banker side.  You will lose less, which is sort of winning more.
However if you are playing the super 6 version where banker 6 pays half, then only betting player is the optimal strategy.

I read something similiar in the past at the VIP Lounge forum, many years ago.
There was a member with the name Talesman who once wrote about a guy who wait for a trigger and wagering two to three attempts with 100 Euro chips and won most of times.

I'm sure that that was one  Bayes early ID's!

This make me think about bet selections like Birthday Paradox where you have around 98.5% probability winning your bet and 1.5% losing it.
But that is not 1, 2 or three bets, that is 5 bets.

Even a fixed 4 hand bet option has an expectation of 99.94% of winning your bet inside 4 bets and .06% chance of losing it, so I guess mathematically superior to Birthday Paradox.

I really curious about the thingking behind "5% com for banker" and "half winning on super 6 version".

What is the math?

You can find nth degree of game math over at the Dark Wizard which has zero bearing on the game from a player's position unless you want to sit down and play 1,000,000 or in the long run hands instantaneously with zero discretion.
