Baccarat strategy

Hi all, I have a question about baccarat strategy.
I play at a Korean casino have noticed that there is another player who has been winning frequently, and was wondering if there was a logic behind his strategy?
He typically doesn't spend too long at the table (just 1-2 hours), and always places bets on both Original and Pairs bets (as well as a occasionally on Tie too). After he loses the Pairs bet around 10 times, he then raises to the maximum bet on Pairs bets. When this maximum bet wins, he then gets a big payout and leaves the table. I've seen him win big many times with this approach, but don't understand the logic.

Can anyone help explain? Does it always pay off or will it sometimes go wrong?

Sounds just like a martingale, except instead of 1-2-4-8..., he's going 1-1-1-1-...-max. No math behind it. He's on a lucky run, and he'll lose eventually.

Agree with deuckecies for he is right, this mystery man will soon get his clock cleaned.. :(

Did he have on a fancy watch? Did he smell like vitamins or supplements? Did have a pretty woman with him? Were the pit bosses talking to him about how much he's been winning and that he has been staying there playing for months and never loses?

Just curious...

For some reason it seems to me that there is no reliable strategy here. He is just lucky several times in a row and you just see these moments. Suddenly, sooner or later, he will have a series of failures and lose his entire deposit. In your place, I would not count on this strategy, the maximum is to try it once and do it carefully and without much hope.

Welcome to the forum. A few questions for you.

1. What is a bet on ‘Original’?
2. What is the payout on ‘Pairs’ ?
3. What does his bet on pairs start at? And then what is the max bet on pairs?
4. How often does he bet on ‘tie’? And how much does he bet on ‘tie’ when he does?
5. How many in a row at max have you seen him lose at ‘pairs’ before he has won one?

that's without any strategy at all! Blackjack players have to memorize basic strategy and then manage their bets very carefully
