The Contra D'Alembert Baccarat System

The original D’Alembert Baccarat System aims to quickly recover a losing bet and protect your winnings with negative progression - however, if you're looking to build a profit in double time, be brave and ignore everything D’Alembert stands for - go for broke with the Contra D’Alembert Baccarat System. Contra D’Alembert is for the slightly riskier player – seeking to maximise a winning streak!

Rather than reducing your stakes when you strike a winning bet (as in the original D’Alembert System), the Contra D’Alembert system requires you to increase your bets by 1 unit when you win - and you keep adding a unit, until you hit a losing bet!
The Contra D’Alembert system is usually applied to even bets - while Baccarat doesn't give us the perfect 50/50 betting platform, it's close enough for the Contra D’Alembert to work its magic.

The original D'Alembert often works nicely - but if you're like many people, and you're looking for something with a little more edge, the Contra system is for you.
By reversing the cautious nature of D'Alembert, the Contra strategy takes advantage of the areas the original system can't touch - both systems work for exactly opposite reasons - so take your pick.

Let's take a look at how you might apply the Contra D'Alembert once you're at the Baccarat table - if you begin with a starting winning bet of £2 (1 unit), you add 1 unit to your next bet, making £4. Keep on adding 1 unit to your stake until you lose - at this point reduce your bet by 1 unit. Contra D'Alambert aims to build enough profit from winning bets, to cover you when you hit a loss. It's more daring than the original system which tells you to reduce your bets after a win - maybe this system isn't for the faint hearted, but if you love the thrill of a bigger win, go against the original system with Contra D'Alambert.

As with all baccarat strategies, you always run the risk of hitting a spell of losing bets, so have the will power to quit Contra D’Alembert when you're ahead.
Some clever players alternate between the traditional D’Alembert and Contra D’Alembert systems - so if you're on a hot run with one system and feel your luck is about to run out, try reversing the system, the choice is yours!
