Card counting in baccarat is a controversial topic due to the game's nature, as you rightly mentioned. Unlike blackjack, where card counting can be a powerful tool due to the large number of cards dealt before the shuffle, baccarat's deck shuffling and card drawing rules limit its effectiveness.
In baccarat, the decks are shuffled frequently, sometimes after each hand, making it difficult for players to track the cards effectively. Additionally, the drawing rules in baccarat, where the player and banker must follow specific predetermined rules on when to draw a third card, further complicate the counting process.
While it is challenging to gain a significant advantage through card counting in baccarat, some advanced players may incorporate it into their overall strategy to gain a slight edge. By keeping track of the high and low cards that have been dealt, players can adjust their betting decisions based on the remaining cards in the deck.
However, it's essential to note that the margin of advantage gained through card counting in baccarat is minimal compared to other casino games like blackjack. As such, players should not rely solely on card counting but instead focus on developing a well-rounded betting strategy that takes into account other crucial factors such as bankroll management and game variations.
In conclusion, while card counting can be used in combination with other betting strategies in baccarat, its effectiveness is limited due to the game's unique characteristics. Players interested in exploring this strategy should approach it with caution and consider its limitations within the context of the game.

One of the biggest difficulties with baccarat card counting is that it takes a lot of time and focus because you have to keep track of the entire shoe in order to make wise decisions. Plus, compared to other games, baccarat typically has lower possible winnings.
