For almost 50/50 games like baccarat, sic bo, roulette, etc., I have a good method that allows you to win more and lose less, and it's simple.
First of all, I want to thank the famous American gambler, Hoyle, for his work "The Probability of Winning in the Casino." Many people have read it and felt that Hoyle didn't explain everything, but in fact, he did. It's just very subtle, and it took me repeated readings to finally understand.
Let's try to keep it simple:
Firstly, how do casinos make money?
Besides exploiting human psychological weaknesses, the main way casinos make money is by the absence of "trends" or what foreigners often call "choppy hands."
What is the absence of trends? It means situations where there's a win-lose-win-lose pattern or win-win-lose-lose pattern, or win-win-lose pattern, etc. In other words, one side wins a few times, then switches to the other side. This absence of trends is what allows casinos to consistently make money. Why? Because when there's no trend, most of the time, the casino knows that as long as a table continues to be choppy, money will keep rolling in.
So, what do casinos fear the most? The answer is obvious: trends. Trends don't happen often, but they always occur. Once they appear, players who know how to use them will inevitably make money, and the losers will inevitably be the casinos. This is what casinos fear the most.
Hoyle's attack on the casino is precisely about using trends and patiently waiting for them to arrive. But how do we do it?
Because the absence of trends is the norm, you must maintain your strength (or betting capital) and wait for the opportunity to arise. How do you do it?
It's very simple. Hoyle's method is 1-2.
What does 1-2 mean? It means betting one unit, and if you win, double the bet to two units. Regardless of whether the second hand wins or loses, return to betting one unit on the third hand.
In other words, if you win with the first bet, bet 2 next, and regardless of whether you win or lose, go back to 1 for the next bet. If you lose the first bet, don't increase the bet.
Remember, you only increase your bet when you're winning, not when you're losing.
Of course, if you win with 1 and increase the bet to 2, if you lose at that point, you can continue to bet 2, but remember not to increase the bet. Similarly, if you win with 1 and continue to bet 1, you can increase the bet after another win, but remember it's not guaranteed. There are no guarantees.
Let me reiterate, you can do it like this: 1-2-1, or 1-1-2 (increase the bet on the third hand after winning twice), or 1-2-2 (if you lose, you can revert to a 2-unit bet for the third hand).
It's simple, isn't it? In short, be flexible with your 1-2 unit bets when there's no trend.
Another question is, where do you bet?
For 50/50 games, except for blackjack, there's almost always a banker and a player. Hoyle has mentioned this, but very subtly. When there's no trend, you can do two things:
1. Simply stop playing. Here, you can also say that if you've lost several hands in a row, you can take a break and relax, which can be helpful.
2. Go with the flow. This is very important, and many people haven't realized it. Let me say it again: go with the flow.
What does that mean? It means that when there's no trend, you can relax and not think too much. Use the previously mentioned 1-2 small bets and bet on either side.
Let me reiterate once again, it's very important to use 1-2 small bets and bet on either the banker or player when there's no trend. |
