A friend sent me a computer application Baccarat Advantage (baccaratadvantage.com), a black box which outputs bet placement instructions based on inputted Banker and Player hand total values. The creator of Baccarat Advantage calls himself “Dr. Jacob Steinberg,” and claims to have achieved a positive expectation after running 1 million live shoes through his program. Because […]
Results from Baccarat Simulations Series 31 are presented below. In this series, I entered sets of 12,100; 4,100; and 2,100 shoes (each set varying in B/P compositions) into the black-box Baccarat Advantage application and analyzed the results. Read a full discussion of these results at the following post: Baccarat Advantage: A Bogus Black Box. Set […]
My friend pointed out to me a couple of threads at BaccaratForums by a member stevefoxwong who claimed to have tested two methods which won both Zumma sets of shoes. Based on his results, stevefoxwong proclaimed them as “holy grails.” One of the methods is by “Harvard educated” Zuan Xin and his successor and classmate, […]

Update: See the related post, Effect of Card Removal on Bias and Event Frequencies in Baccarat. In this post, I comprehensively compare the Player (P) and Banker (B) events statistics in several different data sets, live and computer generated. An “event” is a repeating sequence of one side. A 1s event is a single instance of […]

Some time ago, a friend asked me to examine an interesting statistic from my simulations, the average frequency of the losses-in-a-rows (LIARs). His reasoning was that if all methods were doomed by the odds to have essentially the same negative expectancies, perhaps what might distinguish some of them is how often they lose in a […]
