It is not uncommon for people who are participating in card games (or any sort of gambling) to try and work out ways of beating the system. Strategies of varying nature<\/a> (and varying success) have been introduced to the world, and some players have managed to utilise them to the best of their advantages.<\/p>\n However, baccarat is one of those card games that most people have not been able to tackle with a good strategy or playing system. Some people have suggested though, that pattern recognition may be the route to take when it comes to playing the game.<\/p>\n But what exactly is pattern recognition? And how is it useful when it comes to partaking in the game of baccarat? Does it provide an actual advantage in the game and thereby shift the odds in your favour? Plus, what sort of rules do you need to follow to implement it into your gameplay in the proper way? Let\u2019s take a closer look at whether pattern recognition works for you in baccarat and if so, how it can be incorporated.<\/p>\n Before you try and use something to play a game, you should have at least the basic information about what it actually is. What is pattern recognition in relation to playing baccarat? Well, some people also describe it as a law of averages.<\/p>\n The idea behind utilising pattern recognition is that you can look at the results of previous hands over a course of time and from that information, it\u2019s possible to better estimate what will happen in future hands. Of course, this would be quite difficult to do while you\u2019re playing it, as you need to rely on a large batch of outcomes for a more accurate result.<\/p>\n Playing baccarat requires you, as the bettor, to place a bet on the Banker, Player or Tie segments on the table. Essentially, you are betting on which hand you believe will be the best one, and if that hand does turn out to be the greatest, you receive a payout from the game. If you have played baccarat before, you will know that your bet needs to be placed prior to any cards being dealt out, so you won\u2019t be able to discover any sort of information from the hand you are currently playing. This is why anyone using the pattern recognition technique has to utilise the information from previous hands.<\/p>\n Taking the route of researching hundreds of hands that have been dealt in baccarat already has given some players the idea that patterns from gameplay can emerge. By recognising those patterns and figuring out where the current hand fits into that sequence, so to speak, it allows a player to potentially figure out what the bet should be on the next hand and the following one and so on.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say, for example, that a pattern has emerged from studying previous hands, which tells you that for every banker win there are five player wins, if you have just experienced a banker hand win, then you may opt to choose for a player bet on the next round due to this.<\/p>\n And that is essentially what pattern recognition is. Figuring out what the pattern actually is, utilising it in baccarat gameplay by recognising what pattern is in effect, and then betting accordingly. The real question by many people at this point is does the whole thing actually work? Or is it another strategy that has been thought up by someone trying to make money themselves from other peoples betting woes?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Throughout all of this, it is highly important to remember that when trying to figure out whether a pattern recognition will work or not; previous results have absolutely zero bearing on future outcomes of hands dealt.<\/p>\n Just because you have studied your previous 1,000 hands and seem to have come to the conclusion that the player hand wins five times to every banker hand win does not mean that this is definitively going to happen in future hands. The hands that have appeared before have no bearing at all and are therefore completely irrelevant to what is likely to happen when the next hand is dealt.<\/p>\n Statistics relating to baccarat gameplay are actually drawn from thousands of games, meaning that there is far too much manoeuvring room to even start considering the idea that some sort of minor hint towards a pattern emerging will do you any good in future hands you participate in. However, it is important to remember the following statistics when it comes to playing the game:<\/p>\n The issue comes from the fact that these are only approximate percentages and not 100% specific. In a single session, you may see the banker hand win 68% of the time, while the following session you play the day after only witnesses around 15% of banker hands win. Of course, in actuality, there is usually only a small percentage difference between the sessions as far as baccarat hands are concerned. But, those figures represent much more of a distinction for stress purposes. However, even if you do play a game of baccarat where things are clear cut at the stated percentages, there is nothing that can really guarantee things will definitely swing one way or the other once the next hand arrives.<\/p>\n Because the baccarat statistics mentioned above are taken from thousands upon thousands of hands, you would need to be playing that huge amount before you could actually gain any confidence in understanding how the cards would be likely to land. And even then, it would be a stupid move to bet large amounts of your money on that being the outcome. Instead, you would be better off going into a game of baccarat believing that each hand is completely random and proceeding with gameplay with that in the back of your mind.<\/p>\n The ability to play for such long periods of time and through thousands of hands though, is not something that is totally out of the realms of imagination. Take for example Akio Kashiwagi, who nearly toppled Donald Trump\u2019s Taj Mahal following a deal being worked out where he would continue playing baccarat until he either won or lost $12 million.<\/p>\n Before he started losing, Kashiwagi was up $10 million against the Taj Mahal. Furthermore, the former president of that casino spoke of once witnessing Kashiwagi playing 80 straight hours of baccarat, betting up to $100,000 per hand. Unfortunately, he was murdered in 1992 and owed millions<\/a> to various casinos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pattern play can generally be considered a bit of a bust, regardless of the rules that the casino in question is using for baccarat gameplay. While it is easy to figure out a pattern from previous hands if you play long enough, it is important that you don\u2019t assign a specific pattern when none actually exist.<\/p>\n The law of averages operates simply as an incorrect assumption that previous hands in a game like baccarat make an outright difference to the following hand. While we may want to believe that things will be \u2018evened out\u2019, it\u2019s not something that can be guaranteed.\u00a0 There is a general human motivation to find patterns and this can mean finding them when none exist.<\/p>\n Over the long-term, things will likely even out to ensure that the statistical percentages noted earlier are correct, there is no way of knowing when that will occur. And most people access baccarat games in the short-term.<\/p>\n There are other things that can see the odds shift even further away from you as the bettor, too. For example, if the casino you are playing at shuffles the cards after every hand, there is zero chance of recognising any pattern at all. With these rules in place, you will be seeing hands dealt from a fresh pack more or less.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if the cards are not shuffled, you still won\u2019t be able to utilise any sort of pattern recognition effectively, but card counting<\/a> may provide an advantage instead. This is cited by some baccarat players as being much more useful than pattern recognition. However, once again, the moment that the deck is shuffled, card counting also goes out of the window, because the cards have been mixed up.<\/p>\n The prime rule to remember with baccarat is that it is a gambling game, and that odds won\u2019t fall in your favour all the time \u2013 or possibly ever. You only need to look at the story of Greek-born gambler Archie Karas for that.<\/p>\nWhat Is Pattern Recognition?<\/h2>\n
