The 1-3-2-4 betting system in Baccarat is a positive progression strategy that increases bet sizes after wins and resets to the base bet after losses, aiming to balance risk and reward. The sequence starts with 1 unit, followed by 3, 2, and 4 units if all bets win, and restarts at 1 unit after a loss. This system capitalizes on winning streaks while minimizing losses, but doesn't alter the fundamental odds or guarantee long-term profit due to the house edge.

The 1-3-2-4 betting system in Baccarat is indeed a popular strategy employed by many players. It aims to capitalize on winning streaks by increasing bet sizes after wins and resetting the sequence to the base bet after a loss. By adjusting the bet sizes based on the outcome of previous bets, the system attempts to balance risk and reward.
Here's how the 1-3-2-4 system works:
1. Start by betting 1 unit.
2. If you win the first bet, increase the next bet to 3 units.
3. If the second bet wins, bet 2 units on the third bet.
4. If the third bet wins, increase the fourth bet to 4 units.
5. If you win all four bets, the sequence restarts back to 1 unit.
By following this pattern, the system aims to maximize profits during winning streaks while minimizing losses during losing streaks. It is important to note that the 1-3-2-4 system does not alter the fundamental odds of the game or guarantee long-term profits due to the house edge present in Baccarat.
While the 1-3-2-4 system can be an enjoyable and potentially profitable strategy in the short term, it is essential to approach any betting system with caution and understand that there is no foolproof method to beat the casino in the long run. It is always advisable to set limits, practice responsible gambling, and be aware of the risks involved when using betting systems in Baccarat or any other casino game.

I feel the system is not guaranteed to result in profits, as it assumes that winning and losing streaks will balance out over time. Additionally, the system does not affect the underlying odds of the game, which remain the same regardless of the size of the bet.
