I'm new to those you mentioned as well but this is my understanding of them so far.
Those are what are called Asian Baccarat Roadmaps and are also just simply called baccarat score cards. Each score card marks the game results, using a different pattern. More specifically, the difference lies in the starting point and the results marked. Each player can choose his favourite score card.
There are five of these baccarat scorecards that I am aware of: Big Road, Big Eye Road, Small Road, Cockroach Road, and Bead Road.
Big Road, Big Eye Road, Small Road, and Cockroach Road are straight score cards. In general, straight score cards allow you to see baccarat streaks and baccarat trends for either the player or the banker. Wins of the same side, and ties, are shown in one column. Whenever the other side wins, a new column is started. Ties do not break a column because non-tie bets are returned to the player in the event of a tie. Thus, if a tie occurs, you do not lose any money.
Bead Road is a full score card. It shows you the results of the rounds sequentially. Usually, the top left cell is the earliest result, the one below it is the next earliest, and so on. When the bottom cell is reached, the next round is recorded in the top cell of the next column. In addition, the Bead Road score card shows you the winning hand’s point total. |
