The most common way to play baccarat is to bet on the banker or player (in case of a tie, the bet is returned). Initially, both the banker and player have an equal chance of winning, like two equally matched forces on the battlefield. However, as the game progresses, one side gains momentum, and the balance tips in their favor. This is where we can use point counting to our advantage.
In baccarat, the final point value ranges from 0 to 9. Being able to accurately count points is essential in making informed bets. Here are two scenarios where point counting can be helpful:
**Scenario 1:**
If the player (闲) has a point value of 8 or 9, and the banker (庄) has a point value of 3 or lower, it's a strong indication that the player has the upper hand. In this situation, it's a good idea to bet on the player, especially if the player is on a winning streak. However, be cautious if you encounter a "跳龙" (jumping dragon) situation, as this strategy may not work.
**Scenario 2:**
If the player wins, but only by a small margin (e.g., player 7, banker 6 or player 5, banker 4), it indicates that the player's advantage is not significant. The banker can easily turn the tide in their favor in the next round. In such cases, it's wise to bet on the banker, especially if the banker's point value is higher. Again, be careful when encountering long streaks, and avoid betting against them.
These strategies are most effective when used in conjunction with recognizing long and jumping dragon patterns. It's important to remain patient and seize the right moments to apply point counting. Avoid head-on battles with the banker and choose your bets wisely. With practice, you'll learn to harness the power of point counting to increase your chances of winning in baccarat. |
