If my bankroll is $10 and I bet $1 each bet and I only bet on the banker. What is the probability of me getting to $5 5 or 10 times. For example when I reach to $15 I take off $5 and repeat the process 5 or 10 times.

If you're trying to do this to actually make money it won't work. If you're doing this for fun, then have fun but expect to lose. The game carries a negative house edge built in, let alone your "bankroll" can't withstand any variance so you have a high probability of Risk of Ruin (RoR) and this seems online which means even if you somehow did get lucky and make some money you'd have to deal with every fear that comes from playing online (not getting paid, cash out delays, cash out fees, etc). Probably worth investing your time in to something else =P.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

If my bankroll is $10 and I bet $1 each bet and I only bet on the banker.

what version of Baccarat?
If it is regular Bacc your $1 win pays 95 cents plus the $1 back

I have a table of data for Banker and Player bets for hitting goals and ruin
with 10 unit bankroll (handy)

but i no show
unless i know what a $1 Banker bet pays where you play when it wins

commission free versions have something different for the Banker win at times

super fun!
<<< >>>
the interesting thing is Player has the better chance of turning $10 into $15 than Banker, yep
do to paying even money when the Banker win pays a 5% commission

do tell
my Mom wants to go play Baccarat tonight

I am playing the regular baccarat I get $1.95 on banker bet of $1. So you say it make sense to place the bet only on player? Can you please show the data thanks I would really appreciate that.

I live next to a gambling house and they own a gambling website. I can withdraw as many money per day in a multiple of $5.
So no fee of cashing out because where I live we have no tax.

So what?
Do you live on an island where the laws of mathematics are different? Where Casinos allow money to just flow out of their hands into yours? An island where physical truths that have been pored over and worked through and analysed for hundreds of years just turn out to be wrong? And you, with your $10 bankroll are just going to draw funds out to live on forever.
Stop posting dude, start reading the words and answers that you have pleaded for. We don't need to do your specific and simple maths questions to tell you that you are setting yourself up to bleed all your money to the casino, 50c or $1 or $10 or $100 at a time.
The casino is not a free cash dispenser (ATM) that gives you free money if you just hit the buttons to a sequence that you designed.
You are not that clever. They are not that dumb or generous.

So, you'd be delighted to invest $10 every day of the year and end each month and each quarter and each year with less than you started with.... the occasional day or week you would have a profit for that day or week, but that gets reversed by days and weeks where you leave the casino with nothing?


No. You expect to win overall. That won't happen.?

If I get to $5 with the banker should I switch to player bet to get to $5 again or just always bet on banker for optimal bets?

It really doesn't matter. You should always just bet the best EV. The last hand has nothing to to with the next hand.

>>Research gambler's fallacy before you even start.<<

Once you have an understanding of that and actually believe there's no way to beat a -EV game, you will have a better chance at not becoming addicted or doing something risky or dumb.

Embrace numbers and math, NOT voodoo and betting systems. If you can do that there's a chance you might actually be able to find and exploit a +EV situation. At minimum it may help you become a better and a reasonable gambler.

you can see for yourself
when I play on WoO Bacc on player I do very well turning 10 units into 15
about 62 out of 100 tries (table looks good from here)
Quote: islandman4life

Can you please show the data thanks I would really appreciate that.

here it is
remember if you are trying to win $1 and win the 1st Banker bet you have gained only 95 cents and need another win to hit 100 cents
.
that makes it very possible to go over your target and lower your chances

added:
here is a different goal/ruin table where the Banker bet only has to win 1 unit
so IF the bet is $20 and it wins the unit win = $19 and the goal is hit.
($1 pays 95 cents so the unit win = 95 cents)
that makes the Player bet a unit win also

5
or
10 times.
For example when I reach to $15 I take off $5 and repeat the process 5 or 10 times.

By my data, 0.62^5 or 0.62^10 for Player
that = 0.0916132832 (about 1 in 11) for 5 times in a row ($25)

for 10 times in a row = 0.00839 (about 1 in 119) ($50)
(both dogs)

you should be able to do the Banker bet using the probability in the table I showed.

it looks boring unless you have a super-duper bet selection method that can win more often than on average.
that way you win over a lifetime of play and those haters will mean nothing as they do (due)

some love haters too

IT'S AN ONLINE CASINO probably shuffled after each hand. There's no way to know. And even if we were talking about a real casino, we both know what he is getting at. It has nothing to do with counting or keeping track of what cards have been played. So he would be randomly guessing what side he should bet. In that case it could have a negative or positive effect and it doesn't matter enough to help him win or lose.

Again you try to mislead and confuse new players by using technicalities that are just confusing to them.

Perhaps you lack the ability to actually understand what people are asking.

If you want to bet thousands and make pennies.

That's overstated but you get the point. If you had an honest online casino and the conditions were right there's a chance it might have some value. However you'll be doing mostly waiting and rarely betting.

But honestly I don't know enough about it because I never attempted it and don't know anyone close that has.
