The strategy

  • Bet Banker on every hand — it wins slightly more often, which is exactly why it carries a 5% commission and is still the best bet.
  • Never bet the Tie (14.4% edge) or the pair side bets (~10%+).
  • Scorecards and “trend” systems are theater — every hand is independent.

The house edge

Banker: 1.06%. Player: 1.24%. Tie: 14.4%.
