Secrets of Winning Baccarat
by Brian Kaysar, Publication Date: 04/22/2003, 192 pages
The author recorded the results of each hand for 232 shoes and concocted a system that would work against that set of results. In case you're new to baccarat, the first section explains the game clearly, especially the third-card rule which often confuses not only the player but also the dealer. From that auspicious beginning, Kayser moves through sections titled Baccarat Style (finding the table, making the bet, handling chips, etc.), Some Basic Mechanics (keeping a score card and terminology); Basic Betting Strategy (trends, ten foot hole, basic strategy, testing the strategy, applying the basic strategy, distribution of winning shoe, odds of getting consecutive non-winning shoe.) How Baccarat Works ( odds, runs, strategies); Advanced Betting Strategies (three advanced strategies); Looking for Opportunities (singleton vs. run, betting row three, four, mental bets, every hand); A Unified Strategy (picking opportunities); Frame of Mind; Have the Money to Back Your Play, Targets, Ties; Some Observations; Practice Play; Advanced Tactics: Testing Procedures. Quite a bit packed between the covers of this one.
