Regardless of what casino<\/a> game you want to play, you\u2019re bound to find a clutch of websites peddling betting systems and strategies, and baccarat<\/a> isn\u2019t any different. You\u2019ll find that many of the baccarat betting systems are the same as those applied to blackjack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

However, while you can, in theory, optimise your play in blackjack through practices like basic strategy, baccarat systems are at a much greater disadvantage because the card game runs on pure luck. The house edge remains persistent, and so, there aren\u2019t any solid baccarat betting systems.<\/p>\n\n

Regardless, you\u2019ll find each of the most commonly-sought baccarat betting systems detailed below. This is for your information only, and joenice.net does not recommend using baccarat strategies in real-money games.<\/p>\n\n

What are Baccarat Betting Systems?<\/h2>\n\n

Baccarat betting systems offer a standardised way of increasing or decreasing your wager based on if your bet wins or loses. These baccarat strategies are essentially just tools for payroll management and bet scaling, but are always subject to the house edge and pure randomisation. For genuine tips we recommend the post from expert Eliot Jacobson on optimal strategy for baccarat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

What is the baccarat Martingale system?<\/h2>\n\n

The baccarat Martingale system is a positive progression betting system that sees you double your wager after each loss on even-money \u2013 or near even-money \u2013 bets. (We take a closer look at the precise odds of winning<\/a> in another chapter of our guide). In baccarat, you back either the Player or the Banker with the same value of wager each time; if you lose, you double the bet. You keep doubling until you win.<\/p>\n\n

Here\u2019s an example of the baccarat Martingale system in action:<\/p>\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wager Number<\/td>\nBet Selection<\/td>\nWager Amount<\/td>\nOutcome<\/td>\nNet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a310<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a310<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n-\u00a35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a320<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n-\u00a325<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a340<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n-\u00a365<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a380<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a315<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n

The basis of the baccarat Martingale system is to recover from a loss with ever-increasing wagers. As you can see in the perfectly viable example above, losses quickly equate to large bets. As for applying this as one of the baccarat strategies, it should also be noted that a Banker win is also subject to the five per cent commission.<\/p>\n\n

Many wonder whether\u00a0using the baccarat Martingale system is any different to using it in blackjack. With baccarat, you get to pick between Player or Banker each time. In Blackjack, you can only bet on your hand, but you can skip one or more hands \u2013 the same way\u00a0you can at a live baccarat<\/a>\u00a0table.<\/p>\n\n

What is the Baccarat Paroli System?<\/h2>\n\n

The baccarat Paroli system is a positive progression betting system that works in the opposite way to the baccarat Martingale system. This is one of the baccarat strategies that aims to capitalise on a potential winning streak, with you doubling your bet with each successive win.<\/p>\n\n

However, unlike with the Martingale system, using Paroli as one of your baccarat betting systems puts the onus on your judgement. A Martingale run ends positively with a win, but Paroli only ends positively if you cash out before a losing outcome occurs.<\/p>\n\n

Here is an example of the baccarat Paroli system being used \u2013 keep in mind that Banker wins charge a five per cent commission:<\/p>\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wager Number<\/td>\nBet Selection<\/td>\nWager Amount<\/td>\nOutcome<\/td>\nNet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a39.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a310<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n-\u00a30.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a34.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a310<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a314.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a320<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a334.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a340<\/td>\nLoss<\/td>\n-\u00a35.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/td>\nBanker<\/td>\n\u00a35<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n-\u00a30.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/td>\nPlayer<\/td>\n\u00a310<\/td>\nWin<\/td>\n\u00a39.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n

In the example above, there are actually many more wins than losses, but because they didn\u2019t cash out after a three-bet winning streak, it took another two wins to climb back into a net positive. The use of Paroli as one of your baccarat systems is entirely dependent on ending your winning streak before the luck of the draw does.<\/p>\n\n

Paroli is used in the same way as a choice of baccarat betting strategies as it is in blackjack. As with the Martingale system, the main difference in its use between the two card games is that in baccarat, you can bet on Banker or Player, while in blackjack, you can only back the cards that you\u2019re dealt.<\/p>\n\n

What is the Baccarat Labouchere System?<\/h2>\n\n

The baccarat Labouchere system is one of following a sequence of numbers to create your bet in each round, with the aim being to complete the sequence. After you have your sequence of numbers, you combine the first and last to form your bet and then scratch those numbers off if the bet wins.<\/p>\n\n

The caveat of the baccarat Labouchere system is that when you lose a bet, you need to add that bet\u2019s value onto the end of the sequence. If you choose a particularly aggressive sequence, the size of the bets required to finish the sequence can quickly add up as you can only cross numbers off with a win.<\/p>\n\n

Using a standard consecutive sequence of numbers from one to five, here\u2019s an example of how the opening rounds of the baccarat Labouchere system can run:<\/p>\n\n
