"In the casino, there is an unwritten rule known as the ""established point system."" In each round between the banker (dealer) and the player (player), there is a specific requirement that each area must receive a minimum of two cards and a maximum of three cards. The total points of these cards are considered the ""established point system"" for that area in the casino.
Here are the provisions:
1. Each card received by the banker and the player is referred to as the ""small point value.""
2. The additional points needed for the banker and the player, after the initial two or three cards, are referred to as the ""transition points.""
3. The total points of the two or three cards received by the banker and the player are known as the ""big point value.""
Here are two examples where the player wins while the banker loses:
Example 1: In a new set of cards, in the first round between the banker and the player, the player receives one card with a value of 1 point (small point value) and one card with a value of 8 points (small point value), making the total points 9 (big point value). The banker receives one card with a value of 4 points (small point value) and one card with a value of 6 points (small point value), making the total points 0 (big point value).
Example 2: In a new set of cards, in the first round between the banker and the player, the player receives one card with a value of public (small point value) and one card with a value of 4 points (small point value), making the total points 4 (transition points). The banker receives one card with a value of public (small point value) and one card with a value of 6 points (small point value), making the total points 6 (transition points). According to the rules, the player must draw another card, and the player draws a card with a value of 7 points (small point value). The total points for the player become 1 (big point value). According to the rules, the banker must also draw another card. The banker draws a card with a value of 4 points (small point value), making the total points 0 (big point value).
In the above two examples, most of the gamblers who bet on the banker can accept the first scenario where they lose, but they cannot accept the second scenario. In the second scenario, some gamblers may react emotionally, even throwing the cards in frustration. This behavior is due to their lack of mental preparation, insufficient understanding of the casino's process of establishing point values, and confusion between concepts such as small point value, transition points, and big point value.
In conclusion, when it comes to the points on the banker and player sides, players should have the following understanding:
Baccarat uses a deck of 520 playing cards made up of 10 sets of cards. The ""established point value"" on the banker and player sides is determined by the combination of ""small point values"" of a few cards, not by considering the deck as composed of 520 ""small point values."" Players should not view the number of cards in baccarat as being made up of 520 ""small point values"" but should understand it as being composed of 168 ""big point values"" (84 each for the banker and player sides). As for the internal structure and combination process of these ""big point values,"" players should not concern themselves. These ""big point values"" already exist objectively before the start of the game; the casino simply allows players to see them visually through the card-reading process to add some sensory and judgmental excitement, adding some fun for players. However, this sensory excitement, judgmental stimulation, whether it's exhilaration from winning or disappointment from losing, consumes players' physical and mental energy. Therefore, this kind of excitement and fun is ultimately detrimental to players, as it exhausts their limited energy.
It should be noted that it is normal for players to feel excited when winning and disappointed when losing, but mastering the concepts of ""established point values"" and ""big point values"" should prevent the extreme psychological reactions and behaviors exhibited by some players, such as in the second example mentioned.
In baccarat, the use of a complex system of comparing two or three cards between the banker and the player, rather than a simple single-card comparison method, is designed to break the fixed percentages between banker and player in a shoe, making it difficult for players to calculate using mathematical methods. However, this complex system does not disrupt the overall 50% structure between banker and player, ensuring that the fundamental structure of baccarat remains unchanged.
