Bankroll management trumps betting strategies in baccarat.

"In theory, baccarat betting and wagering strategies cannot have any impact on the overall profitability. If they do have an impact:

1. Under negative returns, different betting and wagering strategies may provide different sensory experiences. Negative progression strategies in betting, as opposed to winning strategies, can easily disrupt one's mental state and increase the ratio of the betting base to the total capital, resulting in smaller fluctuations and ultimately a loss.

2. Under positive returns, the rate of return determines the ratio of the betting base to the total capital. Longer strategies tend to result in lower overall returns. However, at times, specific strategies may be used for certain purposes (details regarding personal interests are not discussed here).

Let's get to the point. It is believed that money management only makes sense when experiencing positive returns. If the opposite is true, it is either meaningless or of little significance.

The following data indicates that under flat betting conditions, fluctuations can reach levels above 240. I have indeed encountered fluctuations of over 200 in actual gameplay. This illustrates the significant power of baccarat fluctuations. If house edge is a slow poison, then fluctuations are a sharp blade straight to the heart.

Warren Buffett has famously stated three fundamental principles: survival, survival, survival. ""Everyday Winners"" believes that surviving is far more important than the rate of return.

If you want to survive:

Your initial capital should be at least 100 times your betting base. Of course, this is just readily available capital. Emergency funds should be greater than 100 times your base, ideally with secondary backup funds. If you use certain simple calculations for betting, you can determine the average bet size and then prepare with at least 100 times that amount.

Without significant fluctuations or with small fluctuations in your betting strategy, you can achieve unlimited profits using a ladder strategy.

Of course, there are extreme situations. You might encounter opponents with extraordinary downswings that wipe you out, or you could have once-in-a-lifetime upswings. Whether facing negative returns or disregarding capital management, capital may skyrocket.

However, I cannot tell you the most suitable or ideal money management ratio. It is well known that exceeding the ideal ratio results in smaller returns, while falling below it increases the risk of bankruptcy. Texas Hold'em has a money management model that practically carries zero risk of bankruptcy and operates with high ratios and high returns. Without experimentation, I'll share it for your reference. It's the de-escalation and escalation strategy, using 200 times as an example:

If you have $8,000, you should play with 40 betting bases.
If your funds decrease to $4,000, you should play with 20 betting bases.
If your capital increases to $12,000, you should play with 60 betting bases.

I'll stop here for now. Wishing everyone success in managing their financial ratios. Step by step, ascend!"

In the end, it all comes down to profitability in betting; the rest is not as crucial. Wishing the original poster good luck as well.

Negative progression can also be a powerful choice.

The theoretical gameplay of the original poster does indeed seem capable of controlling fluctuations when put into practice.

Indeed, gambling requires a good mindset.
