To win baccarat, you must use a baccarat strategy that can produce results when up against the power of the house edge. Merely following the advice to \u201calways bet on Banker\u201d is not a clever strategy. Beginners may stick to a flat-betting strategy, while more advanced players will adopt a pattern-based baccarat strategy with a staking system built into it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Skip to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re new to baccarat, I’d recommend starting with a simple strategy. When you gamble in live or online baccarat<\/a> games, avoid complex or long sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can go with the Fibonacci strategy<\/a>, or just stick to flat betting<\/a>. <\/strong>Flat betting simply means staking the same amount of money in all games, whether you win or lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you bet the same amount on each hand when flat betting, you’ll be able to maintain a tight reign on your bankroll and minimize risk. It also allows for gradual learning; you can track your win\/loss ratio and hone your skills of selecting more correct outcomes and fewer consecutive wrong outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve mastered this strategy, you can begin to form a baccarat staking strategy. <\/strong>This is a strategy you develop that works for the average results you\u2019re able to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 50:50 gambling games of chance, like baccarat, you face the following problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s therefore more common to come across negative progression staking strategies, rather than flat-betting strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A negative progression strategy is a betting system where you increase your bet after each loss, in the hope of recovering previous losses when you win.<\/strong> The Martingale strategy<\/a> and the Fibonacci strategy<\/a> are two well-known examples of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Certain negative progression strategies work well, but only when your gameplay can predict correct outcomes with high bet sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the betting decisions you make:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The negative progression win\/loss ratio will look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n W-L-L-L-W-L-W-W-L-L-W-L-W-W-L-L-W-L-L-L<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not going to follow a negative progression strategy to bet your way out of trouble while still trying to make a profit, you need to flat bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you flat bet to secure a profitable advantage, you need to turn out to be right in at least 55% of the outcomes you bet on in a baccarat shoe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The more shoes you bet on in a baccarat gambling session, the higher your win rate needs to be, especially if you\u2019re winning on Banker hands and the baccarat variant subjects you to 5% commission. Then I\u2019d recommend a 65% win rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flat betting win\/loss ratio will look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n L-W-W-W-L-L-W-L-W-L-W-W-L-W-W-W-L-W-W-W<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your baccarat gameplay doesn\u2019t work out, it doesn\u2019t really matter what strategy you use, because the result will fail to beat baccarat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, let\u2019s look at some popular baccarat betting strategies in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Martingale betting system is well-known. You might\u2019ve heard of it if you\u2019ve been betting on other even-money casino games such as roulette or baccarat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But even if the name doesn\u2019t ring a bell, if you\u2019ve ever chased your losses, you\u2019ve used the Martingale to some extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This popular baccarat betting strategy involves doubling your wager after each loss, with the goal of recovering previous losses and making a small 1 unit profit. <\/strong>But the Martingale strategy isn\u2019t as gold as some gamblers make it out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What makes the Martingale betting strategy tick is the theory a player will eventually win a hand, thereby recovering all losses and making a small (1 unit) profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t consider the 5% commission if the win occurred on Banker. If it did, depending on the bet size, this could even negate the 1 unit of profit sought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fibonacci strategy is based on the Fibonacci Sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the Fibonacci sequence in baccarat means you increase your bets after each loss (moving to the next number in the sequence), and decrease your bets after each win<\/strong> (moving back at least two in the sequence). You can decide which lower number to start the sequence again with. E.g. If you won on 13, you could start on 5 or 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 1-3-2-6 is a progressive <\/em>baccarat betting strategy, where you increase your bet size in a certain order after each win:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following a loss, the sequence returns to 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is often referred to as the “reverse Martingale” strategy. Here, you double your bets after each win to capitalize on winning streaks and maximize profits.<\/strong> The pros and cons are like the 1-3-2-6 system, but let\u2019s go over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, there isn’t one. If it were easy to always make the right call, there wouldn\u2019t be so many gambling strategies telling gamblers to wager more in a losing streak. Good gambling strategies do not include a method for selecting whether to bet on Banker or Player hands in baccarat games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are only two hands in baccarat, but four possible outcome patterns, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This combination of patterns makes it difficult to predict correct Banker or Player outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some examples relating to the above patterns. Note: I believe a streak forms at a minimum of 3-in-a-row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A run of Player outcomes can be just as long as a run of Banker outcomes. And choppy runs can be long too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
