3.0 out of 5 stars
Short and sweet BUT...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Winning Baccarat Strategies: The First Effective Card Counting Systems for the Casino Game of Baccarat (Paperback)
This book is a great SUPPLIMENT to other baccarat books, such as John May's Baccarat For the Clueless (a misleading title for great book) or Frank Scoblette's book on baccarat, the title which I have forgoteen but it has something to do with "attacking" the game. To get back on track, this book goes over possible counting strategies and various other good info, albeit in a technical manner, it concludes that although good situations do come up and card counting at baccarat can tell you when they do, it is simply not worth it. Even with the best counting system, you can barely pull a dollar an hour in expected value, so it's really not worth it, especially since games like blackjack can give you a helluva lot better edge. But if you want to learn some cover games to avoid heat and know more about the math of the game, this book is great. Get John May's book for a history and other methods besides counting for beating this game. I gave Winning Baccarat strategies 3 stars instead of four or five, is not because it's short, but because there is a section on ESP as a form of advantage play, which I find completely rediculous. But it's a good addition to your library, and although it's a bit stiff [money amount] it's the only book with a counting system and math and the rest of it.

BACARRAT HELP?,
By Thomas W Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Winning Baccarat Strategies: The First Effective Card Counting Systems for the Casino Game of Baccarat (Paperback)
This book is far too technical with computer decisions and very little help when i"in the trenches".The counting required is strenuous and I quit using his system when the deck was player favorable and the cards, in their random mix, failed to produce. a player could handle 2-3 shoes before burnout. The casino edge includes player burnout which causes stupid bets. Thats why the dealers change every 20 or so minutes. I have beaten bacarrat only when I anticipated the unexpected, a tie.
