3 Card Wins are a pair of side bets in baccarat at a table in the Gold Coast next to the Hippie Pit. They win if the chosen side wins with three cards. Player wins pay 4 to 1 and the Banker pays 5 to 1. For all the rules and analysis, please click the link I just left.

As usual, I welcome all questions, comments, and corrections.

The question for the poll is would you bet the 3 Card Wins if playing baccarat anyway? Multiple votes allowed.

Question for discussion: Are these countable? (shut up Wiz!)
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Obviously countable. The "Dragon 7" count is almost certainly usable here, as it is correlated to 3-card final hands. (4,5,6,7 = -1, 8,9 = +2). However, there may be an even stronger count.

In the first sentence of the Analysis section at WoO, trade out "Banker" for "Player".
Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22.

I beg to differ, obviously it is not so countable, you can rest assured.

Fortunately, it is beatable with a very unique method . . .( shhh...)

I am just told the maximum bet is $25. Between that and one placement, I'm not going to fuss with it.

100 million shoe simulation results :-

a) 96.6% penetration, BANKER 3 CARD WINS, EV/shoe = 0.014unit
b) 87.5% penetration, BANKER 3 CARD WINS, EV/shoe = 0.001unit
c) 96.6% penetration, PLAYER 3 CARD WINS, EV/shoe = 0.177unit
d) 87.5% penetration, PLAYER 3 CARD WINS, EV/shoe = 0.068unit

So it is not so countable, as per my prediction. Rest assured.

(1) All popular side bets have been identified as countable by the Professor.
(2) Most gamblers only play the perceived "countable" games
(3) First figure out how much you can make per hour by counting
(4) Then get your bankroll ready and go bet.

The paytable has changed:

Banker 3 Card Win, 5,4,3,2,1 15 to 1
Banker 3 Card Win, 9,8,7,6, Push

Player 3 Card Win, 5,4,3,2,1 10 to 1
Player 3 Card Win, 9,8,7,6, Push

Countable?
