The wizard once said there's a way to know the exact position of a card in baccarat. By counting down the cards, players will know precisely when they will receive the known card. Does anyone have a specific method to do this?

yeah if there isn't a cut card you can use tally marks to determine the final card...

otherwise the Wizard probably did not mean it literally

The wizard mentioned that by counting cards, one can determine the value of the cards dealt to specific positions—such as the first or third spot—allowing one to know, for instance, that the first card will be a 9; under these conditions, the player's probability of winning can reach 56%.

There's a cheating method to do this. Is that what you're asking? There was a Vietnamese cheating crew years ago where they would write down the cards in order as they were being played. The dealer (who was in on the scam) would false shuffle a block of cards to keep them in order. When the cheaters saw the cards start to come out in the order they had written down, they would bet huge on the appropriate hand and clean up.

There is a way to know (sometimes) what the first card coming out of the deck is.

There is a way to know in general what cards are available in clumps.

Some of this is done via having a precise memory of every card played and every card remaining. The count isn't really what helps with the level of precision I am talking about.
