"There is a method in Baccarat that is more efficient than a single cable, and it's called turning one cable into two. The 6-style cable, which consists of ""1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32"", totaling 63 bets, can be turned into two cables, which are ""1, 2, 4, 8, 16"", totaling 31 bets. Both have the same capital cost, and the size and length of bets are determined by the individual.
If everyone keeps betting before the fifth round, the betting method and bet size won't make a difference, whether you win on the first bet or on the fifth bet. The only difference is in mentality. By the fifth round, the 6-style cable still has two moves in hand, while the 5-style cable is at a critical point, facing life and death.
Someone asked, what's the most important thing in betting cables? The answer is definitely not to break the cable. When the cable is broken, it's similar to a ship's cable breaking, and the resemblance is striking. A cable originally referred to a thick rope or iron cable used to anchor a ship, and it now broadly refers to many twisted things, like electric cables and steel cables.
In Cantonese, the word ""cable"" also has another meaning: a betting system. Why would Cantonese call a betting system a ""cable""? I haven't researched this, but I speculate that the reason might be that betting systems are generally represented by a series of numbers or a sequence, and they look like lines, but more importantly, once you lose money beyond the betting system's limit, the consequences are usually severe, commonly referred to as ""breaking the cable.""
A betting system refers to methods that attempt to reduce or eliminate the advantage held by the casino by changing the size of bets. These systems are generally represented in the form of a sequence of numbers or can be deduced to the next level through a fixed calculation method. The most well-known is the Martingale System, where you double your bet after each loss.
The difference between the 5-style cable and the 6-style cable is based on the same principle. If you win on the fifth round, everything starts over. If you lose on the fifth round, which means losing five rounds in a row, the 5-style cable declares a break, with a loss of 31 basic bets. If you win on the sixth round, the 5-style cable is reset, and you bet 100 units, with wins or losses being irrelevant. It's just the first move, and you still have four chances to follow.
If you lose on the sixth round, the 5-style cable loses 3200 units, which is 3100 units more than the previous one, and you need to recover the lost ground. Everyone is winning only 100 units per round, which requires a lot of effort. However, it's essential to consider both sides of the story. If you win on the sixth round, the 5-style cable loses 100 units, resulting in a net loss of 3000 units. Meanwhile, the 6-style cable remains unbroken and earns 100 units.
You can see the difference between the 5-style and 6-style cables; it's essentially a ""bet per round."" By the sixth round, the 5-style cable has given up chasing and started over. The 6-style cable is a decisive game, aiming to break even in one round. The outcome of this round almost determines the overall result, and the result of one round is pure luck rather than cable style and technique.
Continuing to play is a cycle, and you'll find that one round still affects the outcome. If the 5-style cable is broken while the 6-style cable remains unbroken, the former will spend 31 rounds to recover, without considering the house edge, just to break even. The latter, without breaking the cable, keeps increasing profits. At this point, it may be 30 or 40 basic bets ahead of the former. But if both had broken their cables, the shorter cable would resurface more quickly.
Whether to use a complex cable or a simple cable depends on the individual. The secret is to keep track of the number of consecutive losses and use that as a decision point.
