One area Im always striving to improve is recognizing there is nearly always a little bias showing. Just hold up awhile as most shoes will have at least one or two groups of 9-12 outcomes where a significant biased opportunity is available. Readily available for a huge cash extraction.

Hi KFB and thanks again for your interest at reading my pages.
Imo baccarat is a game of multiple observations made on several different aspects.
For example, how many times an asymmetrical hand comes twice in a row, so building the Banker math advantage on the second hand?
General probability tells us is 8.6%, hence it's way more likely to cross a symmetrical hand of course NOT favoring Player but even less Banker as on the latter scenario a winning bet is payed 0.95:1 and not 1:1.
Therefore when we place a series of bets at Banker side we must encounter a more restricted range of asym hands than average to get a math advantage.
And there are only two ways to be really advantaged when wagering Banker:
- Spot the situations where an asym hand will come out shortly.
- Hope that the actual shoe we're playing at provides a larger than expected number of asym hands.
Since the average asym advantage of B bets vs P bets is 15.86% but winning bets are decurted by a 5% vig, it's easy to see that there are very few spots to really get a math advantage (naturally 5% muts be considered as 2.5% per bet as half of the bets at symmetrical spots are losing).
Do the math and realize how many asym hands must show up to get a ROI (return on investment) advantage when betting Banker.
In reality casinos particularly love 'only Banker' bettors because they extract money either at losing bets but even at winning bets. As long as the shoes they are providing not contain a substantial higher than average amount of asym hands, they collect some money.
Another important feature of the game that almost nobody would take care of is the quality of winning hands.
The largest part of winning results is formed by strong or moderate card situations, think about naturals and standing points or two-card higher initial points.
Nonetheless some rare shoes will elicit the formation of long clusters of winning hands (whatever shaped) by many 6-card hand situations or by a unfavorite side hitting multiple 'miracle' cards for long.
And many other situations in between.
Sadly to say, most 'betting many hands' strategies getting a profit at the end of the shoe would meet some unfavorite situations transforming a more likely losing hand into a winning hand.
It's what I name as a 'poker tournament' effect: eventual poker tournaments winners not only managed to win their advantaged hands but even some underdog confrontations (not mentioning a fair amount of so called 'coin flips').
This effect is partially erased by operating a strong and diluted bet selection.
Say that to be constant winners at baccarat we need to play a lot of shoes thus collecting imperfect informations about how the game works and for each of them to make multiple observations that are not worth per each shoe dealt.
In fact, probabilities continuously hop from one side to another, no one future hand will get a 0.5 probability to happen. And to get a long term edge we just need to bet B with at least a 51.3% probability and P with at least a 50.1% probability.
It can be done.
