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.

Isn't that what we do here in the forum?

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.

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.
