For your consideration...

Baccarat Player's Advantage is intended to be a guide to help improve the performance of the baccarat player. Just as in competitive sports and other high performance endeavors, successful baccarat play has as much to do with training, discipline, effective focus, and execution as anything. We believe that there is value in presenting a number of considerations related to these concepts that every baccarat player should hold at the forefront of play. We have found such considerations to be critically important after a substantial amount of time playing baccarat in live casinos.

Effective money management is the foundation for success in any endeavor where risk capital is put to work to attempt to generate returns. Successful baccarat play requires effective money management including establishing limits of loss to manage risk, setting targets to retain profit, determining a range of bet sizes as a basis for play under different conditions, and a plan to lock in winnings by sweeping profitable play off of the tables.

There are many different ways to assess a baccarat shoe as part of the bet selection process. We present a few of the most effective techniques that baccarat players tend to look at. It is important to note that nothing in our recommendations constitutes a fixed or dynamic system of play as commonly classified, advantaged play, or cheating. Yet the material we present may be used as a basis for your development of an approach to playing baccarat successfully. You may find that this discretionary decision making process works well for you or use this information to help develop a more systematic approach to the game.

People usually fare better with a structured form of instruction than a random collaboration.  There are a substantial number of examples to support this.  The clear majority of what we have learned about the game is through actual play.  Of course it's great to learn and check with the right players on-line.  However, it is very easy to see who actually plays and who doesn't  when reviewing content on-line.

All very true.

Does your strategy in the book make use of the derived roads that are shown in the baccarat board? Do you have examples of the strategy in the book?

Our view is that the Derived Roads (Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Road) are extremely valuable to play and are covered in the book.  Many of the same formations found on the Big Road with Bank and Player are found on the Derived Roads as well.  As with everything in baccarat, there is no signal or trigger that is a lock, but you can observe the Derived Roads and follow what they are showing just the same way you can do so with the Big Road.

Some of the best baccarat shoes have strong formations on the Big Road as well as strong formations building on two or even all three Derived Roads.  For example, you might have a very strong Bank shoe that is also showing red (trending) on all three Derived Roads.

The best way to gain experience with the Derived Roads is to start with a basic understanding of what they are and watch how they work in live play.  Keep in mind there will be many times where there is conflict between the Big Road and the Derived Roads or within the Derived Roads themselves.  That is, some formation has to break.  This is a primary reason why players elect for no bet, free hands, or small bets at times.

Derived Roads:  Also, between everything on the baccarat scoreboard including the Derived Roads it is often easy to find a reason why to stop betting in a manner aligned with a strong formation.  Successful baccarat play that leverages experience and discretion requires you to prioritize.

For example, if you are fortunate to be in on a long Bank or Player Dragon/ Dragon Tail (Many Bank or Player wins in a row), you may many broken jumping points in the Derived Roads to along the way.  All very experience based and situational.

To play baccarat successfully, you have to put in work.  It pays to observe what's happening on many levels.   Big Road, Bead Plate, Derived Roads, players and their selections and bet sizes, momentum, trends and formations or nothing, dealers, why are things going my way?, why is everything going against me?...

yes I agree a structured method is always batter for the bettor in the end then confusion. I understand what you're writing, referring to regarding considering many aspects at once. It helps the bettor to weigh up the chances of success and gives him/her the ability to find out what /she might be doing wrong on the times when losing bets come, as they will always come.

Percentages.  Percentages are a sound approach to keeping your bet sizing under control.    There is a difference between increased bet sizes under positive progression and a sudden step up in bet size.  Also, it is very easy to blur rational decision making, lines, and strategy when surrounded with much larger players.

For example, if you typically bet with a unit size of $100, you may find yourself among players with much larger bank rolls and bet sizes.  A $500 or $1,000 bet will start to look average or typical when you are playing hour after hour with others who have a few hundred or more as their base unit size.

Percentages should help keep your bet sizing in line as well as be smarter about stop limits and profit targets.  Incorporating percentages as well as nominal amounts should be helpful in framing your play as $500 and $1,000 represent a bet size 500% and 1,000% larger than your appropriate unit bet size. 

Walk into a bank or investment term and ask for a 15% return in a few hours.

There are countless examples of players taking a huge step up in bet size on 'sure plays' or plays with 'strong confidence' which may or may not turn out well.  And remember that another player's bank roll may not be your bank roll, and another player's unit size may not be your bet size.

Hey Jag, (Can I call you that?)
I took a look at the Amazon preview for this book and it seems very well written.  Kudos for that.  I just started playing baccarat (not sure how I passed it up all these years) so I'm not sure I'm ready to drop 50 on an ebook but wanted to say it seems to have a different feel from most strategy or system books.

Best,

you are absolutely correct in letting or willingly  allowing other players to Influence you. however works both ways and I've had some of my largest wins with camaraderie and unofficial Partnerships where we followed each other at the table and we made consistent wins and avoided losses But be forewarned that easily backfires and causes ill will and a fast decent to losing a buy in as well.     

 I click on the link and it has no price or option to buy the book, is there something wrong with the site or link above. See picture, no price and i can not buy the book with amazon link!



Cheers
