Easy Six Baccarat

Posted in +EV, baccarat by stephenhow on September 12, 2012

A reader just asked about a no-commission game called Easy Six Baccarat. I’ll keep this post short, for those in-the-know. Use the simple taps (6 => -7, 7 => +3, 8 => +2, 9 => +2) and a true count threshold of 5.0. For an 8-deck shoe with 52 cards behind the cut card, you’ll net +49% of a fixed bet per shoe, on an average of 12 bets/shoe. For an 8-deck shoe with 16 cards behind the cut card, you’ll net +84% of a fixed bet per shoe, on an average of 15 bets/shoe.

For simplicity, you can use the RCmin thresholds in following table:

hand #	Min RC Threshold
burn
1	40	40	39	39	38	38	37	37	36	36	35	35
13	34	34	33	33	32	32	31	31	31	30	30	29
25	29	28	28	27	27	26	26	25	25	24	24	23
37	23	22	22	21	21	21	20	20	19	19	18	18
49	17	17	16	16	15	15	14	14	13	13	12	12
61	11	11	11	10	10	9	9	8	8	7	7	6
73	6	5	5	4	4	3	3	2	2	2	1	1

hey stephen,

Just a general question, as I take great interest in your posts and have learned from them. Do you believe there are any sizeable +EV bets available to an average person? (outside of traditional blackjack counting) Let’s define sizeable as say, the ability to make $100/hr+ in expectation w/ unlimited bankroll. Mostly, are any of these +ev games available with decent enough betting limits to make it worthwhile for someone, or a team, to get involved? Not sure if my question is crass or not. If you want to answer without a full explanation I’ll understand. Just curious if there’s anything out there.

  take $8000 to Baccarat and bet $100 on banker every hand. Sure, Player could win majority of hands, but I always seem to see the scoreboard showing Banker winning over Player. As long as the Banker wins one more time than Player, you got your $100. no guarantees here, so don’t blame me for making you lose $8000,,,lol.

If the payout for “Banker wins with 6” is 1:15, is it possible to have +EV by counting?
If possible, I will be very interested in having a discussion and experiments together.
