Ok, I'm trying to figure out if there is a TRUE house edge for a player on Baccarat.
I know "the house edge is 1.06% on the banker bet, 1.24% on the player bet, and 14.36% on the tie."
So...
A Baccarat shoe usually has about 80 rounds. A player is not required to play all the rounds, passing when they want.
If the player makes a wager on only 55 rounds of 80 rounds; 31 being Banker, 23 being player and 7 tie bets. (One of the Tie wagers was placed by itself, the other 6 were placed with either the Banker or Player wagers for a total of 55 rounds.)
Is there a more true way to calculate the actual house advantage unique to this player?
Such as:
A true Banker house advantage of: 1.06 * 31/55 = .60%
A true Player house advantage of: 1.24 * 23/55 = .52%
A True Tie wager house advantage of: 14.36 * 7/55 = 1.83%
So, a true house advantage for this player of: 2.94%
Is this wrong? Is it even possible to calculate this?

I agree with your procedure, except that 31 + 23 + 7 = 61 instead of 55. So, if the player made 61 equal bets, the average house edge for his bets would be 2.94%(55)/61 = 2.65%.

True, but in Baccarat a Tie wager can be placed either alone or in addition to one of the other two wagers. In this certain scenario 1 tie wager was placed by itself, the other 6 were placed along with either the Banker or Player. Making 55 total rounds played.
I apologize for not clarifying how the Tie wagers were played.

55 is still incorrect as you need to go by wagers placed rather than rounds played. Here's the breakdown:
