[00:59] right corner. Go watch that first if you haven't already. As we've shown in previous videos, in baccarat, the bet with the best odds is the banker. So, session. The banker wins about 45.9%
[01:14] of the time, and when the hand ends in a tie, I don't lose any money because it's a push, just like in blackjack. That's why the house edge is only 1.06% one of the lowest in the casino. Yes, the banker pays 0.95 to 1 because
[01:31] of the commission, but it's very small. And even with that, the odds are still better than in roulette with a single zero or a double zero. So, we're sticking with banker for the whole play, as should you if you want to follow this
[01:45] strategy. And you know what else you should do before starting? Making sure that you're playing on a safe, licensed casino. I know, I know, I repeat it every time, but it's super important. If you don't want to get scammed by shady

[02:27] system works the same way with any currency. So, as I said, we'll be using Oscar's Grind Recovery System. If you haven't seen Richard's videos where he breaks down Oscar's Grind for
[02:39] roulette, take a look at that first. The link is in the top right corner. Here's the quick recap. With Oscar's Grind, you aim to win one You keep a running count of the units that you win or lose.
[02:53] When the unit count reaches plus one, the cycle ends and you start a new one. If you lose, the unit count goes negative. You repeat the same bet, and when you win, you add one unit to your original bet until you reach plus one
[03:08] and close the cycle. There are a few exceptions where the next bet would overshoot the target, and in those cases, I adjust the bet to keep the goal Sounds confusing. Let's see it in practice. I'll use a base unit of 10
[03:23] euros. So, let's place it. 10 euros on banker. 10 euros on banker. The count is now, of course, at zero. nine. That's my first loss.
[03:37] The count goes to minus one. Let's repeat the same bet. Back to zero. This is one of the exceptions where I don't increase the
[03:49] bet since it would overshoot the plus one target. So, 10 euros again. I lose again, back to minus one, and I keep betting 10 euros, my base unit.
[04:09] Just like before, I don't increase the bet because the target is plus one unit. finally plus one. That wraps it up as I managed to get
[04:23] myself a nearly 10 euros profit, one unit, and recovered everything else. This is the end goal of each cycle. Now, let's start a new cycle. So, count is
[04:35] zero, and I bet another 10 euros on banker. I lose, down to minus one. After a loss, I keep the same bet.
[04:57] Another loss. Now I'm at minus two. Same rule here, I don't change anything. win, I add one unit to my bet, which now increases to 20 euros.
[05:13] If this wins, I'm done with this run as it will shoot the count to plus one. And I won. Nice. We jump all the way to plus one. Cycle closed, profit made.
[05:34] Loss, down to minus one. The player is not making it easy today.
[05:55] So, I move back to minus one. Same as before, I add one unit and bet 20.
[06:09] So, we close the cycle once more. Another profit locked. New cycle. Back to 10 euros and count back to zero. I lose, down to minus one. Same story, I
[06:22] I lose, down to minus one. Same story, I don't change the bet. To make sure the bet if winning doesn't take us over plus one,
[06:35] take us over plus one, I keep it at 10 euros.
[06:53] Another loss. Now I'm at minus two. This table is feeling generous today, huh? Lovely. I keep the same bet as it is. No panic
[07:08] I keep the same bet as it is. No panic yet. Uh-oh, another loss. Now I'm at minus four. This is what we call the grind.
[07:24] That moves me up to minus three. Since I won, I add one unit. The total Since I won, I add one unit. The total bet goes up to 20 euros.
[07:41] I won two units, so now I'm back to minus one. In theory, I should bet 30 here, but that would overshoot the target. So, I keep the same bet and aim for plus one. And one. As usual, climbing back up with
[07:57] Oscar's Grind is quick if we are lucky. Cycle closed, back to 10 euros.
[08:09] And I win on the first hand of the cycle. I'm at plus one right away. Nice. Cycle closed. Now, have you noticed something important? Of course, because we are always betting on the banker, when we win, we pay a 5% commission.
[08:24] This is small, but it kind of messes up the math behind Oscar's Grind, which relies on a bet that pays one to one. So, when we win, we double our bet. Here, we don't exactly double it. If we win, we don't get exactly 20, we get
[08:39] 19.5. So, how do we deal with this? Well, as you can see from the play I'm doing, we just ignore that small loss and always play like if we were getting a one to one payout for simplicity of
[08:53] calculation. So, you might think then baccarat is worse for Oscar's Grind compared to roulette, where it pays a clean one to Well, wrong. You see, if you play Oscar's Grind at
[09:06] roulette, betting on red or black or any other outside bet, your winning chances other outside bet, your winning chances are a clean 48.64%. However, by betting on banker, your winning chances are 45.9%
[09:21] winning chances are 45.9% plus in 9.5% of the cases, you push. So, you still don't lose your bet. This basically means that while at This basically means that while at roulette you will lose your bet 51.36%
[09:33] of the time, at baccarat only 44.6%. So, you gain an extra 6.76% chance of not losing your bet while paying a 5% fee on all your winnings. Therefore, in practice
[09:49] you are slightly better off using Oscar's Grind at Baccarat than at player? Because in that case, the chances of winning would be lower. So, it's not worth the extra 5% winnings for a lower
[10:04] chance of winning. All right. I'm going to fast forward and All right. I'm going to fast forward and check how this session finishes.
[10:25] of 169.5 euros in a bit more than 10 minutes. Not too shabby, but of course, this is not one of these systems that pocket huge wins. It's called Grind for a reason. Slower?
[10:40] Definitely. Safer? Also, yes, but of course, risks always exist. So, does Oscar's Grind work on Baccarat? Yes, arguably better than in
[10:52] Roulette. Of course, as usual, it isn't a magic system and it's not fast. The idea is simple. Play slowly, aim for small wins, and keep risk controlled. Compared to
[11:05] aggressive systems, it's calmer and easier to manage since you're only targeting one unit at a time. However, long recovery loops can happen. If losses continue, the system doesn't save you. It just keeps the progression
[11:20] going, which can make sessions longer and test your patience. And most importantly, eat your bankroll. This is the real risk. Always remember It doesn't guarantee profits. No system does. This is still gambling, so use a
[11:36] stop loss and only play with money you can afford to lose. So, what do you think about this system? Please feel free to drop a comment below. Before I wrap this up, here are two things to consider so you can
