Is this a good baccarat betting strategy?

When the shoe starts, the first hand comes out banker or player, whatever it is I bet on the winning side for the second hand and continue, hoping for streaks to happen. I continue betting the same amount (1 unit or minimum bet) until I lose and then I switch to the opposite winning side. To recuperate my losses, I double my bet martingale, until I win again, which would require a winning streak of at least two in a row. The key point is that it is based on that I cannot go 7 times without winning. On the seventh bet, I must win or I bust. Now I've observed many shoes and I've never seen it alternating between banker and player more than 6 times, although if it does it is a huge loss, but it is a win a mass majority of the time. Basically, it is a profit of usually more than 30 units per shoe. Is this a good betting strategy because so far I haven't placed any bets but just have been observing shoes online and at real live casinos?

you haven't explained why it isn't because although it cannot beat the game, because the 7th loss is possible to happen, it is unlikely from the shoes I've observed, how often do you see in any given shoe BPBPBPB? I mostly see BBBBPBPPPPPPBPBBBBB etc? why bet against a streak?

House edge. There I explained it. Every bet you make carries a house edge. No matter how you you bet or in what order or system you can’t get rid of the house edge.

Welcome new user.
I'll keep this short, and I'll shout!. STREAKS MEAN NOTHING
Whatever set of x hands you just saw DOES NOT PREDICT THE NEXT HAND
If you martingale, you will PROBABLY WIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY!
If you don't win, you will CERTAINLY LOSE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY
If you want to use Martingale to win a significant amount of money you will have to repeat the MARTY A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TIMES
If you repeat the Marty, your chance of that ONE MASSIVE LOSS IS NOT AT ALL UNLIKELY
EVERY BET YOU PUT ON THE TABLE IS SUBJECT TO THE HOUSE EDGE. THE MORE YOU PUT DOWN - THE MORE YOU LOSE
All you are doing with a Marty style of wagering is constructing a wager where you probably win peanuts {granted] but put your massive bankroll at risk repeatedly.
MARTINGALE IS JUST A FUN WAY TO LOSE MONEY
If you try to ask, in umpteen different ways, why your system is flawed, you will possibly meet hostility here. Don't take it personally. No-one here sees any financial value to Martingale. It doesn't matter whether you bet with streaks, against streaks, baccarat, roulette, blackjack. We all KNOW how dumb Martingale is, and some of us get sick of rewriting the same explanation time after time. It was nonsense 300 years ago, it always has been and always will be.

As I came across elsewhere, the only time that Martingale is a good, serious option is when you need a fairly small amount, and losing it all doesn't make things much worse than not achieving your goal. And the example given was trying to afford getting smuggled out of a war zone.

I'm honestly surprised you haven't seen a 7 streak yet. I've been working on my own system. How I've been doing it is I wait for streaks of 4 to start then I bet on the opposite, up to 4 more times (if streak hits 8 I quit) bets go 10,20,40,80
I've now completed 30 shoes in my testing.
129 times I've won my bet
4 times the streak has hit 8+
I will just be doing this for fun sometime though and go for a short term win on a shoe. Because as others have stated there's no system that will win forever. I just recently learned as well. GL to you though!

okQuote: keldogI wait for BBBB or PPPP then martingale til I win. If I lose 4 bets in a row I chalk it up to a loss
sounds fun
also
what I find interesting is
if you or I test say, 250,000 shoes
and start betting after a run of 4 either way
or
just bet after one P win, (for example)
the average win when won
or
the average lost when a loss
is
exactly the same.
so it appears that
waiting for a trigger
only makes one feel good about their betting system selection
does not change the outcome - win or lose
that is so cool to know

Quote: keldogI wait for BBBB or PPPP then martingale til I win. If I lose 4 bets in a row I chalk it up to a loss
Remember Bayes's Theorem:
The probability that B happens given that A also happens = (the probability that A happens given that B also happens) x (the probability of B happening) / (the probability of A happening)
In this case, let A be "a coin flip comes up heads 4 times in a row," and B be "a coin flip comes up heads 4 more times in a row."
The probability that a coin flip comes up heads 8 times in a row given that it already came up 4 times in a row = (the probability that it came up heads 4 times in a row given that it came up heads 8 times in a row) x (the probability that it comes up 8 times in a row) / (the probability that it comes up 4 times in a row) = 1 x (1/256) / (1/16) = 1/16. Not coincidentally, this is also the probability that the coin comes up heads 4 times in a row regardless of the previous tosses.

link to original post
Just noticing there's about 24,000 more B's than P's in this result.
903,179 X $100 = $90,317,900 P Win
927,131 x $095 = $88,077,445 B Win
$90,317,900 P Win - $92,713,100 B Loss = -$2,395,200 P Loss Total
$88,077,445 B Win - $90,317,900 P Loss = -$2,240,455 B Loss Total
Playing Banker had about $155K less loss than playing Player in this case.
So if you're playing Player, you're running up against more Banker wins causing you more losses. If you're playing Banker, you're getting shortchanged 5% and it's not enough that you're winning more often than Player by 1 hand per shoe.
Any system I have relies on variance and being ahead by at least 10 bets after 5 shoes, but it could take an extra shoe or two to get there, who knows.

I would love to hear the details of that one. What are they exactly. Mike can't analyze it if he doesn't know the details so why don't you please explain them. How do you arrive at the 'educated' part.. How do you know when you've reached the point where you can make an educated guess. You seem to be an expert on this, waiting for the details.

So, there we have it. After decades searching the whole internet, this totally foolproof winning system washes up in a quiet backwater of the interweb.
271,000 views and only 146 comments, none of them negative. Could it be that 270864 viewers did not follow up by testing the system? Or did lots of them wander off to put it into practice and have been too busy getting rich to bother to report back?
It's been out there for four months. If you are going to capitalise on it, jump in quick before All the casinos of the world stop running baccarat tables or change the pay table to kill the system.
Let's be grateful indeed that this foolproof system is lost in the millions of scams and snake-oil claims.

Coming back with starting with a base unit of $2 and raising the base unit $1 for each 64 line wins with no losses. Topping out at the $5, $10, $20, $40, $80, $160 level, so 4 sets of 64 wins in a row, starting with a $260 buy-in, and I can get to near $1,175 cash-out.

Don't underestimate Marty. LOL. There's no rule that says one stops Martingaling after one winning wager. That's the joy of it: One can repeatedly Martingale towards a one (or 0.95) unit win, time after time forever...... Or until one goes bust, but we all know how unlikely that is. $:o)
Actually, for all my derision, I quite like Marty $:o)
