Baccarat Strategy - Labouchere system
Best 6 online casinos
The player who uses this system adjusts his bet to the outcome of the previous hand. The bet is raised after losses and decreased after wins, but by a more complicated system than used in the Martingale.
First you have to choose a sequence of numbers
For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Each number shows the amount in units or chips to bet. Then you make a bet that is the sum of the first and last numbers (in this example, 1+6 = 7). If this hand wins, 1 and 7 are taken away and the next bet is again the sum of the first and last numbers, this time 2+5 = 7. If the hand (1+6) loses, the whole lost bet is added to the end of the sequence (you add 7 to 1,2,3,4,5,6 and you get 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) and then make the next bet that is 8 (1+7). When the numbers are over, this series ends.
Sequence = 1 2 3 4 5 6
7 win 7 win 7 lose 10
Sequence = 347
Here is the table how the bet varies after each losing and winning bet. Let’s take the sequence: 1-2-2-3-2, as an example:
Sequence | Bet | Result | NetGain |
---|---|---|---|
1-2-2-3-2 | 3 | lost | -3 |
1-2-2-3-2-3 | 4 | lost | -7 |
1-2-2-3-2-3-4 | 5 | lost | -12 |
1-2-2-3-2-3-4-5 | 6 | won | -6 |
2-2-3-2-3-4 | 6 | lost | -12 |
2-3-2-3-4-6 | 8 | won | -4 |
3-2-3-4 | 7 | lost | -11 |
3-2-3-4-7 | 10 | won | -1 |
2-3-4 | 6 | won | +5 |
The overall result is a slow but continuous increase in the bets in a series of hands will in the end leave you ahead, when the series goes to its conclusion.
You must finish each series, and you may be locked in a very long series with large losses before you win. You can also reach the table limit before you win. This system needs considerable concentration.
