It's literally a flip of a coin. People try to track trends, etc. but there's no real truth to that or otherwise the casino won't willingly give you tracking paper for you to use. Baccarat is just betting on "Player" and "Banker", they're just sides to bet on, it doesn't mean player vs casino. Each side gets 2 cards and the point is to get to 9 being the highest. (10s and face cards are 0). Banker has a slight edge so if you win with a banker bet, casino takes 5% commission. I play it because it's a game I can just sit there and drink and not bet unless I "feel" like it's a good bet. Plus it's fun squeezing the cards like it changes something lol
