Basically, the casino offers a fair game with a 50% win rate (after some variations, it's not always 50%). But if the game is a 50% win rate, how does the casino make money? Let's not talk about baccarat; everyone knows that the casino appears to make money by taking a 5% commission on banker bets, so your win rate is around 45-48%, while the losing rate is over 50%. Despite this, it's still close to a 50% win rate. So, should we say that you lose nine out of ten times? It should be closer to losing five out of ten times (or let's say six out of ten), right? If it's a five-out-of-ten loss (for the sake of argument), then why do nine out of ten people coming out of the casino look like losers? And why is the saying that you lose nine out of ten times so prevalent when it's not entirely true? What's the reason?

The casino appears to profit from the difference in percentages (although this is negligible for most gamblers). But what does it really profit from?

1. It gambles against you and has an unlimited supply of chips, while you have a limited supply.
2. It has betting limits for each player, and if you exceed a certain amount, you can't bet more (this doesn't apply to online casinos, which may involve cheating). Since online casinos may have issues with disappearing, it's not advisable to play with large amounts. You might not be able to withdraw your winnings even if you win.
3. It keeps you playing for a long time.
4. You have the pressure of losing, while the casino doesn't.

Let's start with the four issues mentioned above. Now, for example, we'll use the 1-2-3 betting method:

1. Start by following the trend. Bet on the same outcome as the previous round.
2. If you lose, place fixed bets on the same outcome as the third bet of the previous round.
3. If you lose again, place fixed bets on the same outcome as the third bet of the previous round.
   PS. Whenever you win one, start over. If you encounter a long streak, you are guaranteed to win since the first bet is the same as the previous round.

So, let's say you're following a one-sided streak (banker-player-banker-player), and the banker continues to win. You start betting from the second round. Since the first bet is required to follow the trend, you bet 100 on the banker for the first round, which you lose.

In the third round, you bet 200 on the player, and you win. Now, you start over with the one-two-three method.

In the fifth round, you bet 100 on the player, and you lose.

In the sixth round, you bet 200 on the banker, and you lose.

In the seventh round, you bet 400 on the banker, and you win. You've successfully applied the one-two-three method.

The point is, you bet only when necessary. When you follow a trend, you may lose some rounds but eventually recover your losses when the trend changes.

2. Recognize long and short trends and adapt to the situation. When analyzing cards, consider both long and short patterns. For example, if you notice that there haven't been any long streaks and the cards seem to be alternating between banker and player, consider betting on a streak (player-banker-player-banker). Be flexible and adjust your strategy accordingly based on the current trend.

3. If things aren't going well, switch to a 1-1-1 strategy. Don't engage in high-stakes battles with the casino. Instead, when you're on a losing streak, gradually reduce your bets, or even take a break from betting altogether. This strategy helps you manage your losses and avoid the pressure of continuous losses.

In summary, the key is not to engage in all-out battles with the casino. Instead, use strategic betting methods and manage your bankroll wisely to increase your chances of winning. Remember that gambling should be approached as a form of entertainment, and responsible play is essential to enjoy the experience.
