"Baccarat Strategies: Betting on Baccarat Pairs Is Not Rational"

Jafar224

"There are many common strategies in baccarat, including betting on the banker, betting on the player, and also gambling on a tie or baccarat pairs. Betting on pairs involves predicting whether a pair will appear in the initial two cards dealt by the banker or player. Compared to the fixed odds of 1:1 for betting on banker or player, the odds for betting on a tie or pairs are considerably higher. Placing a bet on a tie and winning results in an eight-unit payout, while betting on pairs has an even higher payout ratio of 1:11.

The introduction of betting on pairs and ties in baccarat undoubtedly aims to enhance the game's entertainment value and attract more baccarat players. However, for players, does betting on pairs and tie games bring more profits?

We all know that the probability of a tie game is around one in ten, with a casino advantage as high as 14%, ten times that of betting on banker or player. The probability of getting pairs is even lower. Some players like to simultaneously bet on "banker" or "player" when placing a bet on pairs, and others prefer the so-called "Three Treasures," which involves betting on "banker," "player," and pairs to reduce risk. However, if we make flat bets, in the former case, if betting on pairs is unsuccessful, we don't win money even if we win the hand. The same applies to the "Three Treasures" betting method. Of course, there's a potential for higher winnings, but from a probability perspective, winning is not as simple as we might think. On the contrary, if we allocate the money intended for betting on "pairs" and ties to "banker" or "player," our winning rate will significantly increase.

If you are an entertainment player seeking more excitement and enjoyment in baccarat, there's nothing wrong with trying your luck with pairs a couple of times—it can be a pleasant surprise if you win. However, if your goal is to generate income through baccarat, the best approach is to stick to betting on banker or player, avoiding ties and pairs, ensuring a sufficient winning rate and a smooth path to making money."
