I was reading some of the posts and the idea of looking out for singles caught my attention.

The idea of working in pairs seems like a good one to me if I am trying to manufacture results where there is an abundance of singles.

What do I mean by pairs?

There are 4 different pairs that can appear on a Baccarat table excluding the ties.

Banker-Banker
Banker-Player
Player-Player
Player-Banker

It is quite common for one of these pairs just to throw up the odd single appearance and then be absent for long intervals.  *see file below*

The Player-Banker pair (number 4) skipped for 17 times, hit, and then skipped 7 times before hitting again. That's just 2 hits in 26. This is not some freak occurence either. It happens with all the pairs where one of them can have some very long intervals before hitting once and then go missing again.

There is an easy way to take advantage of this. You just play the opposite of the pair that is missing and you are guaranteed a hit on the first or second attempt if the missing pair does not appear.

Banker-Banker missing.  Bet Player-Player
Banker-Player missing.  Bet Player-Banker
Player-Player missing.  Bet Banker-Banker
Player-Banker missing.  Bet Banker-Player

You could use a conservative 1-1 staking plan opting not to bet the second if you won the first. Why risk a unit when you have already won one. The second bet in this instance is only a recovery bet.

Or maybe a 1-2 where a loss followed by a win still nets a 1 unit profit.

The variance is in our favour with only one pair out of four that can beat us.

There is also the option of betting for parlays when a pair is coming out in very short intervals like the Player-Player towards the end of the file.
