Big road
Bead plate
Every hand is dealt from the same shoe with the same odds: Banker wins about 45.9%, Player 44.6%, Tie 9.5%. A long streak on the board doesn't make the other side "due". The scoreboard is for keeping track and for fun, not for predicting. Set a spend limit before you sit down.
This baccarat scoreboard does what the screen above a live table does. Tap Banker, Player or Tie after each hand and it fills a bead plate (every result in order) and a big road (results grouped into streaks, a new column every time the winner changes). You’ll see the counts, the current streak and the longest run of each side. It’s free and saves the shoe in your browser, so you can close the page and pick up where you left off.
Reading the baccarat scoreboard
Bead plate: six results per column, top to bottom, left to right. Red is Banker, blue is Player, green is Tie.
Big road: each column is one streak. Banker wins stack down in red rings; when Player wins, a new blue column starts. Ties don’t get their own cell: they’re drawn as a green slash on the last result (with a number if there’s more than one). A streak longer than six turns right along the bottom row, the “dragon tail”.
That’s the board most baccarat players watch. The other derived roads (big eye boy, small road, cockroach pig) are patterns built from the big road, and they don’t add anything to the odds, so we’ve left them out.
The part that matters
Every hand is dealt from the same shoe with the same chances: Banker wins about 45.9% of hands, Player 44.6% and Tie 9.5%. A run of eight Banker wins doesn’t make Player more likely next, and a “chop” pattern doesn’t predict the next chop. The scoreboard is useful for keeping track, for settling arguments about what happened, and because the patterns are fun to watch. It’s not a forecast.
