Let's take the second pattern happening at every shoe dealt, BP registration still stands.

Now we're taking care of the very first pattern coming out per every shoe dealt by an A (asymmetrical) or S (symmetrical) shape (according to the rules I've depicted in my post).
To make things easier let's consider just the BP sequence.

Any decent bac soul will get the best of such a succession whatever the possible innumerable permutations such short list might produce (That's the beauty and the importance of assessing outcomes by a clustered or isolated parameter).

Anytime you'll register the very first pattern happening at every shoe dealt (providing to be really randomly shuffled), enlist it to a simple A/S table and let me know whether your findings are not correspondent to this brief list.

Quote from: Whatswhats on January 05, 2026, 09:18:22 PMIn my test, probably is better to bet just one time, the second bet, so wait for a virtual loss on a 2 bet succession or in my way that use what b/p pattern succession is I and what is C, can happen that first bet isn't possible (because i use multiple player playing simultaneously with W/L succession so not B/P) and can happen that first bet isn't possible and second yes so I bet only on the second bet, and the entire shoes that I'm tracking is random 4 hands for shoes, so I enter in a shoes and 4 hands that is my amount of hand for I/C, and then I go next shoes to bet etc, so I work with Asym/sym on multiple shoes that together create a single shoes!

I'm not English so probably my explain isn't the best!

I understand what you've sayed, with your multiple registration you'll get some "conflicting" events where one line suggests a B bet and the other one the P bet.
Probably the second bet is best to assess a kind of asym/sym propensity, providing to abandon the plan after two-three losses happening at the same shoe (there's a reason for that I'll address in a future post).

KFB wrote:

However, my personal belief is that one can do both: Use expectations as a baseline or guide, yet, focus on the shoe at hand(currently right in front of us). IMO this is superior vs doing solely one approach.

Where I consider expectations-as-a-baseline a little more is when the shoe has significantly deviated from expectations(2-3 SD),...etc. Especially in the early part of shoe. Dependent on how extreme the limits have been approached.

I concur.

After all most players follow the shoe and all of them are long term losers and trying to exploit the "following the shoe" approach mixed with the expectation guidelines needs a lot of experience and study that surely KFB and Alrelax got in their arsenal.

Independently of the expectation, any moderate/strong deviation is the essence of the asymmetry, yet in turn asymmetry/asymmetry becomes a symmetrical situation, thus only asym/sym and sym/asym patterns remain asymmetrically placed. That's why, IMO, we need a fair amount of hands to possibly resolve the issue.

On the other end and as we've seen several times here, sym/sym patterns are way more likely to stop after short sequences as the game isn't symmetrical and independent by any means.

A question for KFB about this passage:

One of the easiest ways to approach an even-steven game: A) Play at EZ Bac tables, B)Side step 1 out of every 2 3c7 B wins.

Can you please elaborate the B) point?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Asym

Another group of fine posts up above.Ill comment more on the weekend as I have a couple addendum Qs.

I like:

"...On the other end no commission games will get an inferior ROI whenever a B 6 will win (Tiger/Lucky 6 tables) or when a B three card winning 7 will show up.

From a mere asymmetrical/symmetrical patterns point of view and besides the math implications, that means that we should have more reasons to bet P at Tiger/Lucky 6 tables and conversely to bet B at EZ baccarat tables..."

Continued Success,

alrelax up above (in part):

I agree w most of what you have written(and how you have phrased it), as for focusing on what is currently happening.


"..."Expectations are extremely dangerous to a player. By expecting presentations to be a certain way you are removing yourself from the reality of the shoe.

If you remove yourself from expectations of what should happen/ occur and how it should, you become impartial and more open to the possibility of what the shoe will produce.  You pay attention in a different perspective that will be to your advantage.

BAC is complex and your awareness is crucial to profitability. Expectations are great in planning and armchair quarterbacking, but at the table they are extremely dangerous and bankroll drainers in every aspect whatsoever."..."



However, my personal belief is that one can do both: Use expectations as a baseline or guide, yet, focus on the shoe at hand(currently right in front of us). IMO this is superior vs doing solely one approach.

 In my test, probably is better to bet just one time, the second bet, so wait for a virtual loss on a 2 bet succession or in my way that use what b/p pattern succession is I and what is C, can happen that first bet isn't possible (because i use multiple player playing simultaneously with W/L succession so not B/P) and can happen that first bet isn't possible and second yes so I bet only on the second bet, and the entire shoes that I'm tracking is random 4 hands for shoes, so I enter in a shoes and 4 hands that is my amount of hand for I/C, and then I go next shoes to bet etc, so I work with Asym/sym on multiple shoes that together create a single shoes!

I'm not English so probably my explain isn't the best!

Suppose your next bet will be Player.
You'll really lose money itlr only if the Player draws and Banker shows a 4 or 5 initial point (actually even if the Banker shows a 3 but by a way lesser degree).
At all the other possibilities, a P bet is not losing money and of course 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s initial points will get a perfect equal probability to show up but the payment will be different, being 1:1 all of the times at P side but less than that at B side at commission games.
On the other end no commission games will get an inferior ROI whenever a B 6 will win (Tiger/Lucky 6 tables) or when a B three card winning 7 will show up.

From a mere asymmetrical/symmetrical patterns point of view and besides the math implications, that means that we should have more reasons to bet P at Tiger/Lucky 6 tables and conversely to bet B at EZ baccarat tables.
That means that a possible symmetrical 'unwanted' pattern should be evaluated by an additional factor, for example about how the previous hand went by the asym/sym math propensity that, of course, is less likely to happen consecutively whether the previous hand was asymmetrical and anyway regardless of the actual outcome.

That doesn't mean that betting P after an asymmetrical hand had shown up will get us an advantage (it would be too an easy task), just that the 'general' asymmetry will take care even of this factor when deciding the side to wager upon.

Our tests have told us that it's a minor mistake to chase asymmetry while betting two consecutive steps at P side than by wagering two consecutive steps at B side. A kind of paradoxical finding we should be aware of.

oOoOo

Back to the S successions considered by isolated (I) and clustered (C) shapes now at their SECOND appearance per every shoe dealt. Again first registration follows a specific random walk then we'll take care of the mere BP successions.

Maybe there's nothing to guess, just to exploit such probabilities...

as.

Besides of the different approaches anyone would like to adopt, at the end what really counts is the proven math edge our bets will get (or not) over the course of our action.

Since it's impossible to play with a real advantage by simply varying the betting amounts, we're compelled to run long tests and see whether our single bets are really surpassing the well known winning cutoffs of 51.3% at B bets and 50.1% at P bets.
That is the bet selection is of paramount importance.

Regarding those winning probabilities, we know that B bets are affected by the actual rules, so at "Tiger/Lucky 6" tables we need a way higher winning probability than 51.3% to be ahead itlr as we must endure a greater HE (1.46% instead of the common 1.06%); on the other end EZ baccarat tables reduce the HE by a 0.05% (1.01% instead of 1.06%).
Obviously HE at P bets remains at -1.24% at all tables.

If we think our approach will dictate to place half of our bets either at B or P side (even by running complicated other forms of random walks), we see that our B winning probability will be enlarged by few situations (ranges) whereas P winning probability will get "less unfavourable" successions (from a math point of view) as the asymmetrical math probability to have B math advantaged hands is 91.4/8.6.

This consideration could be particularly important anytime we choose to bet very few hands, especially whenever our plan will instruct us to bet two hands in a row.

After all situations really favoring the Banker side are distributed by a 8-9 hands range per each 8-deck shoe (and of course some of those situations-around 10%-resolve in a tie).

More later
