Explore The Streak-Swinging Strategy of Online Baccarat

Online Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards that are re-shuffled after each hand and dealt from a shoe, similar to Blackjack. Once the Player and Banker receive their cards, their point total is displayed below the hand on the screen. If either hand has a total of 8 or 9, this is considered a “Natural,” at which point no additional cards will be dealt. The winning hand is determined by the person (Player or Banker) whose point total is closest to 9. If both hand totals are the same, a “Tie” is declared. If a winning hand is not satisfied during the initial draw, a third card may then be drawn by the dealer. The third card is dealt face-up, first to the Player’s hand and then, if necessary, to the Banker’s hand. Only one additional card per hand may be dealt with. 

Many offline casinos do not allow Baccarat bettors to bet on both Banker and Player at the same time. At first thought, you might think it rather odd and self-defeating to back both sides as you would be winning on one and losing on the other. And of course, you would be losing commission on the winning portion of your Banker wager upon each Banker outcome. So, you might ask what is the point and is there a baccarat strategy within this tactic that might just work out? The point is you do not back both sides through a shoe. You bet on both sides up to the point where you get to secure profits from the side that goes in front first. And then continue backing the remaining side to try and secure further profits.  

Do casinos know something most Baccarat bettors are not aware of?

There are not many gamblers who would attempt this on a Baccarat table save. These kinds of bets are not permitted at an offline casino. A lengthy analysis revealed that there is, in fact, a feasible system of betting on both sides and here it is explained just how it works. It is well worth trying, and at the very least you are hardly going to lose a lot on the shoes it does not always work on. But it does seem to work on many of the Baccarat Shoes. So let us go through why and how this method works in practice.

Why does the method work?

Essentially, the central idea behind trading in a share market can be applied to the game of Baccarat. Just visualise, ‘going up or down’ in trading as betting on Banker or Player (whatever way round you prefer it does not matter). In Baccarat, when an outcome goes against you, you will lose that bet. It thus follows that you need to implement stop losses.

How does the method work?

In Live Baccarat, nothing is preventing you from betting on both Banker and Player at the same time, anytime you choose to. And often each side scores 3+ outcomes ahead of the other side at certain points during a shoe. There is over a 90% chance that one side in Baccarat will reach 3+ outcome units more than the other side. This is all you need to make a nice tidy profit with minimal risk. The concept of this system is that you gain value from each side as soon as the outcomes favour one side and correct to the break-even and then the weaker side makes a comeback. Because there generally will be a stronger side that shows itself first. But you can never be sure what side that will be so better to be backing it at an early stage. 

In using stop losses, there is approximately a 70% chance that the remaining side will recover, fight back and make it to 3+ unit outcomes over the side that made 3+ unit outcomes first. 

The Streak-Swing system in action mode

STEP 1:

You have to bet from the start of the shoe. You have to bet on both Banker and Player before the very first outcome shows on the scoreboard. If one side wins three times in a row, suspend betting on the losing side until it becomes an outcome again, then you can resume betting on that weaker side.

Tip:

You should always flat bet on both sides. It becomes far too complex to increase your wagers at any point and there is no need. If you want to win more simply increase your flat wagers from the start.

STEP 2: 

You have to continue until one side goes ahead of the other side by 3 outcomes. You have to keep an eye on the scoreboard on the total number of Banker and Player outcomes. So, if Player is winning by 4x outcomes and Banker by 7x outcomes, you can stop betting on Banker if your chip count indicates you are up by 3+ units on that Banker side. Then continue betting on Player following the next appearance of Player. You would have stopped betting on the Banker altogether having reached your 3+ unit wins.

You must remember that in Baccarat, the commission is only deducted on the win amount, not the wager. So, if you bet $10 on Banker and win $10, 5% commission (50c) is only deducted from $10, not $20. 

STEP 3:

You should then continue betting on the remaining side, (example, Player as in step 2) and again suspend betting if the Banker side scores 3 times in a row, because, although you are no longer betting on Banker, it can still influence your betting decisions in terms of the ‘three in a row stop-loss rule.’ You can resume betting when the Player becomes an outcome again. You want to see the remaining side (in this instance the Player) make a comeback, a ‘streak-swing’ against the side that made it to 3+ unit wins first so that Player evens the score and then goes in front. When the Player has reached 3+ units wins over the Banker (Again check the scoreboard and your bankroll) you can stop betting on that Shoe having profited by 3+ unit wins on each side! 

So, you should be 6+ unit wins in profit, less the amount of Banker commissions you would have paid.  

Overall Stop Loss

In the worst-case scenario, when the outcomes struggle to cause either side to break out into a 3+ lead, (or moreover the remaining side struggles to fight back) you should set your overall stop loss to 6- plus the Banker commission that totals 1 unit. Thus, not allowing yourself to lose more than 7- units max. Many shoes workout for this system. Nevertheless, having a game-ending stop loss in place is a good money management plan to protect your bankroll against unfruitful shoes because you will encounter some.  

Tip:

You should be exiting a shoe with your profits while you have the chance. Yes, you will often see one side surging ahead well over 5+, sometimes by 10+ or even more than this. But the key to winning Baccarat is understanding that ‘averages matter,’ and this knowledge is going to be ‘your edge.’ If you go against this knowledge and allow greed to step you outside of the rules of this system then you run the risk of winning and then losing what you have won, and this is when confusion kicks in. The longer the shoes i.e. 6 or 8 decks of cards the more the likelihood of you securing 3+ flat betting units wins both on the Player and Banker sides. Though in many Shoes, one side should achieve 3+ units over the remaining side early on, as soon as one side breaks out into a mini or long streak. The streak size does not need to be a long one for one side to sneak ahead.

Conclusion

When you next log in to your online casino account, you can sit back and view some Baccarat shoe outcomes taking place to determine whether the likelihood of this system is one you might like to try out for real. Baccarat is one of the most sought after online casino games. So it would not be wrong to assume that this strategy might appeal to a large number of players who want to get a steady gain from the game. Good luck with your next game of Baccarat!
