Baccarat is one of the popular live games now in the Philippines since it’s the original version of our local game lucky 9.
I saw many streamers that using betting pattern on this but I don’t see the logic how they decide to change bet from banker to dealer and vice versa by just relying only on the bet history. Baccarat is a game of pure luck so I don’t comprehend how they come any strategy on this game.
Am I missing something strategy which is almost similar to card counting of blackjack?
While there is a category of gamblers that employ patterns and trends in their betting approach to Baccarat, they are often called 'betting system' followers. Such systems are based on the patterns or trends found in the history of betting on the game. These bettors may keep track of previous bet results and try to find some particular regularities or repetitions among them. Then they use these patterns as a basis for making their wagers.
This is what I’m looking for. I’m kinda confused why they are using previous bet pattern like a technical analysis on trading while it’s not even related to the actual condition of cards on the deck.
Nevertheless, bear in mind that all strategies have an element of risk attached to them because every spin is a single outcome. Even if a player has been successful in following a certain betting pattern for some time, it does not mean that the pattern will always be successful. Whereas some gambling games are based on prediction like card counting in Blackjack, Baccarat doesn’t fall under this category. In the game of Blackjack, one of the strategies is counting cards where players keep tabs on all the cards that are played from the deck to predict what card will be dealt next. Conversely, every hand in Baccarat does not depend on the result of previous games; hence, there is no way one can anticipate the following outcome based on what cards have been played.
Don’t worry, I’m well aware on the risk and I’m planning to play this game because I don’t see any way to efficiently way this game using a strategy while the payout is a little bit low than 2.0 despite the game is close to 50% win rate chance.
I’m only bewildered how streamers in my country play this game as if they are sure on the results.
