No way.
Baccarat is still alive on the false misconception that hands may be controlled in some way itsr (in the short run).
For example, after every 7 winning hands in a row a player should be winning the same amount (minus vig if applicable) lost when he will cross the specular 7 losing streak.
Unfortunately bad players do not take care of this sort of balancement, thus raising the bets more on the losing spots than on winning ones.
Of course the HE is still the same and for that matter casinos are sure as hell that even a B/P no edge and no third card rule working, will get them a lot of money as most bac players are very bad players.
Think about an infinite fair coin flip successions offered at a given casino. Even if the EV=0, the large majority of players will end up the year as losers and cumulative losses won't be counterbalanced by cumulative wins.
Paradoxically, we are in a far better shape trying to get the best of it by a dynamic asymmetricity working on a negative EV game than seating at a game having EV=0.
