Baccarat has a low house edge on the main bet, so it leaves a lot of room for different betting strategies ... but in the long run, the house has the edge and will win. Card counting will not effectively help the main bet, but it can give a slight advantage to some side bets when they are available [but I have not tried these yet]. As always, set your playing limits before you begin.

Hi, I also found a short guide from us that might be useful for you. 

Feel free to read it- Baccarat - rules, strategies and the guide.

I hope you will find something you are looking for. I personally haven't played baccarat yet so I probably don't have much to say about it but I believe there is someone who could give you some advice or feel free to ask what you would like to know and I'll try to find out more about it too. At least I will learn something new. 🙂

Hello, what do you mean? Any promo or anything? You have to be careful not to violate our Terms because at that moment your post may be deleted.

You can find all the important information here.

But if you have something you would like to share with the players, you can just write what FS it is about in which casino and some basic information. Ideally without any links and references that are not allowed.

Choose popular slots and spin at the minimum bet

Interesting advice indeed.

The main thing is to play wisely and not bet more than you can afford to lose. Learn the rules of the games and try demo versions. Control your emotions and set betting limits. Luck is important, but strategy is even more important. What is your main advice for beginners?

Well stated. Set aside a set amount for each session if more than one. Stick to the 1% rule, if you have $100.00 set aside for play, most per spin would be $1.00.

This is exactly the right thing👍

I always try to make 1% profit per session. When I reach this goal, I withdraw and continue playing after a few hours. This is realistic and keeps you in control.

So it's fine if you manage to keep what you have planned. That's probably the most difficult part of it all, according to what I'm used to hearing from players. Do not chase losses.

I hope you do as well as possible.☘️🤞

That's true, of course. I set myself a realistic loss limit. If I reach it, I'll be blocked for that day.

And what limit is realistic for you? 🙂

The winning and losing limits are 10% each. This strategy is tedious and the winnings are modest. It is a cat and mouse game that is a lot of fun.

Whatever suits you best is a good call. Your realistic approach seems just excellent to me. You must be quite a disciplined person, I'd say. 🙂

I have answered once before on this thread (more on what to do if you think you should play). Now, I would like to give the answer warning you not to play.

At the simplest level, when you enter the casino, you are fighting both randomness and the house edge.

Regarding only the randomness. If you have no betting strategy, you can lose quickly. If you have a betting strategy, you can lose slowly. If you have an extremely good betting strategy, you might be able to break even or lose very slowly. If you lose your funds quickly, it is usually because you took too much risk and randomness went against you.

HOWEVER, you also have the house edge. Please understand, no betting strategy in the world will defeat the house edge. This is why the house always wins. And usually by draining your funds slowly.

The only way to beat a casino is to have some type of advantage (legal methods include card counting and dice control ... but only a tiny percentage of people have the skill to do these successfully) ... which means the vast majority of people will lose money. And if you do have an advantage and start winning, they can kick you out and ask you not to return.

That's right! The house edge is as solid as a rock and there's no way to shake it. But the player can speculate and take breaks and then continue playing when there's a good opportunity. A casino doesn't have that option, it always has to play, even when the player is on an extremely good run🤣

In articles and guides on the Guru portal it is often correctly stated

It is noted that the casino wins as a result

mathematical advantage,

and an individual player - thanks to

dispersion. But dispersion is

characteristic of the distribution of random variables. Separate

the player is unlikely to be able to bet

on the roulette wheel by chance (without having a built-in RNG). His attempts will lead to a sequence

rates that are far from normal distribution,

more precisely, discrete binomial. It's not bad if the subconscious helps him

bet on the correct numbers, groups of numbers and sectors. Usually

This does not happen for a number of reasons.

Here you need to pay attention to

the type of dispersion that is in

Guru's articles do not mention it. It is better to consider this a little later. But does a "beginner" need to know so much? I think no less than training a novice driver,

pilot, diver, hunter.

Such knowledge will be a means

objective assessment of the effectiveness of his playing methods or will become part of the method.

They are not mentioned anywhere here either, but they do exist. At the very least, this is

and also three "physical" methods, several "mental" ones, :) and their combinations.

That would be true

"responsible" approach to

gambling.

On one casino forum I recently posted three messages

discovered a supposedly "logically flawless" statement about

what if there was

way to win, then

all the casinos went bankrupt.

Then I remembered my childhood

poem:

A little boy found a machine gun.

Nobody lives in the village anymore.

(A young boy fired a gun. No one lives in the village anymore.)

By the way, such finds are possible in our forests.

Even in the book about roulette from

there is a comparative characteristic of the famous scientist

effectiveness of several methods. Of these, illegal

is only an application

computers.

This mathematician, Pierre Basieux,

I played personally (+130,000 euros).

That is, the gain can be

a good reason for self-improvement.

This is, in my opinion, a good one

life position for the player.
