Rules
Phase 1:
-
Based on the last 2 decisions you bet following a streak (PP or BB), that is on the
same as the last decision or you bet following a chop (PB or BP), that is on the
opposite of the last decision using a 3 step progression 1,2,3.
-
If you win any of the bets within the 3 steps above, you repeat the above process
Phase 2:
-
Should you lose all 3 bets in Phase 1, this means that you are entering a 2-2-2
pattern. Then you keep betting 2 units flat, following PPBBPP, decision after
decision for as long as the pattern lasts.
-
At your first loss, you switch back to Phase 1 to follow a streak or a chop using
the 1,2,3 progression.
Money Management
On the long run, only 4 out of 32 or 12.5% of all 5-bet series will go into phase 2. That
means you will win 87.5% of all series already in Phase 1. In phase 2, if the 2-2-2
pattern continues, the 3 consecutively lost bets in phase 1 will be recovered, at times with
even additional profits. If it doesnt continue at all, an 8 unit loss will be considered (6
units from LLL and 2 units from a discontinued 2-2-2) for that portion of our bets,
although during the previous and following stages, profits will be made from winning all
other patterns.
Long-term tests have shown that it is advantageous to set a +12 unit profit limit (AFTER
Banker bet commissions) and a 6 unit loss limit per shoe, whichever case happens first.
This way one wins 50% of all shoes played. Out of 100 shoes, for instance, one would
win 50 shoes and lose 50 shoes. This will result in +600 300 units or +300 for the 100
shoes or an average of 3 units per shoe.
This way you will also know that you are on a bad shoe right up front. And once you
reach 6 units, you can quit the shoe and join the next one, although the recovery
chances are not slim. However, if you have this strategy set up front, your 6 units will
also not become 26 units for that shoe. You would be limiting your losses greatly.
Customer feedback also suggested that if a shoe goes up to +10 units and starts going
down, it is recommended to lock your profit, by not giving up more than 50% of your win
at that point.
A 30-unit buy-in bankroll and a 60-unit lifetime bankroll should be sufficient for this
system.
Sample Runs
As sample runs, we will take the first 10 shoes of the Zumma Baccarat system tester: 72
Days at the Baccarat Table by Erick St. Germain.
First, some explanation on the contents of the columns of the spreadsheet.
The first column
Sequence is the decision number. If we are joining a shoe from its
beginning, we wont be placing any bets on the very first bet in order to observe the
outcome. If you have to place a bet, then place a minimum bet on either Banker or
Player, so you will give the impression that you are participating.
Normally, we should not place any bets on the second bet either, since we need to see 2
decisions in order to decide where to bet on. However, again, if you have to place a bet,
just follow the last decision. If Banker, then bet on Banker. If Player, then bet on Player.
Normal play starts at Sequence 3.
The next column Player/Banker simply shows the outcome, the result of the bet, or the
decision.
The column Detected Pattern determines how to bet on your next bet. If Player or
Banker repeated for the last 2 decisions, it marks a Streak, meaning that you will be
betting on the same as the last decision on your next bet. If the last 2 decisions were
different, then it determines a chop pattern, meaning that you will bet on the opposite of
the last decision on your next bet.
Bet on
shows where to place your bet, depending on the Detected Pattern. Please note
that this is valid for Phase 1 only. If you have lost 3 consecutive bets, you are in Phase
2, following the 2-2-2 pattern and you would bet according to the next decision based on
what follows the patterns PPBBP (on P in this case) or BBPPB (on B in this case).
shows if you won (W) or lost (L) your bet. Again, this is valid for Phase 1 only. In
Phase 2, that is after you have lost 3 times in Phase 1, an L represents a win for the
pattern 2-2-2.
Phase 1 Count Consecutive Losses
counts the number of losses and will help you
identify if you are in Phase 1 or 2. If the count is less than or equal to 3, you are in Phase
1 and every win (W) shown in W/L reflects a true win. If the count is greater than 3, you
should know that you are in Phase 2; you are betting on the pattern 2-2-2 and every L
shown in W/L is actually a win of 2 units. So the greater this count is (as long as it is
more than 3) the better, as you will keep accumulating 2 units per bet.
When the count is 0, that means a win, if you were in Phase 1, or the end of Phase 2.
This is the time you switch back to Phase 1. This may look a bit confusing, but with a
little practice you will get a good feel of it. You just need to keep in mind that when the
count is greater than 3, a loss indicated in W/L is actually a win for you, since you are
now in Phase 2, until this count becomes a 0, meaning a win in Phase 1 (it doesnt count
for Phase 1, since you are presently in Phase 2) and a loss on Pattern 2-2-2 and the time
to switch back to Phase 1 if you were in Phase 2.
Phase 1 Units
counts the units gained or lost during Phase 1 only. When the count
column is greater than 3, you are in Phase 2 and you will see that we write 0 under this
column.
Phase 1 Units after Commissions
simply calculates the profit left on your win, if your
winning bet was on a Banker bet and registers 95% of your unit value.
Phase 2 Units
accounts for your 2-unit profits, when you are in Phase 2 and are betting
following the 2-2-2 pattern. Please note that when the Phase 1 Count Consecutive
Losses is greater than 3, this is a winning bet for Phase 2 and thus the 2 unit profit is
registered. When the W/L turns into a W after the count being greater than 3, this is a
loss for Pattern 2 and therefore 2 units are registered and time to switch back to Phase
1 to follow a streak or a chop.
Phase 2 Units after Commissions
registers your true profit should you win on a Banker
bet, that is 95% of 2 units, or 1.9 units only for Phase 2.
Net Units
is the sum of your Phase 1 and Phase 2 units and shows where you stand at
any stage within the shoe.
