Simple

Bet on "Two Back"

If you sit down with this...

Your 1st play is BANK

Continue to bet "Two Back" -- for example if Bank is next then you will have

So your 2nd play is PLAYER

2. How much to play: $$$

No need to re-invent the wheel!

Use "Oscar's Grind" to figure the wager AMOUNT for each bet.

According to legend, in the 1950's a craps player named Oscar developed a progressive betting system for grinding out a small profit. And so, Oscar's Grind was born. While the system yields only small profits, it has the nice feature of operating at low risk. You won't win a gazillion dollars, but you won't lose a fortune either.Oscar's Grind System will win one unit of profit per series of bets. To start playing you bet one unit. If you win, bet one unit again. When you lose, a series starts and you bet one unit a second time. Never increase the size of your bet after a loss, but every time you win increase your bet by one unit. However, any time if a bet would win and earn you more than one unit on the series, reduce your bet so that if it won, you would only win one unit. Although that sounds complicated, it's not. Let's take an example and see how easily it works.

What's the 'take' on horse racing these days?

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Anywhere from 15-30%, depending on the type of bet and which track one plays. But it is possible, although extremely difficult, to turn the odds in one's favor. That is impossible in baccarat.

It's not impossible. You can earn about $0.01/$1000 wagered in baccarat if you count cards.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Sure; if you hover by the table counting perfectly, make a bet roughly every 500 hands and casino management allows you to do this. For all intents and purposes, baccarat can't be beaten.

just bet banker everytime no matter what

[Mikail]

I have been very profitbale at mini baccarat at the local casino. No system other than playing mostly banker and not playing every hand. I probably only play 50% of the hands dealt.

[jjgold]

Edge with Banker wait for player to win 2 times in a row then come in banker.

Interesting thread Sammy

[Sam Odom]

Edge with Banker

That is why there is a commission on a winning Banker bet. So shop around for the smallest commission
