The probabilities for possible hands were calculated by Edward
O. Thorp in his classic book "The Mathematics of Gambling".
He also determined that card counting is not effective at
the baccarat tables. It works, but it is about 9 times less
effective when compared to blackjack card counting.
And besides, the advantage of using card counting is "
... easily eliminated by shuffling the deck".
All of online casinos shuffle the deck after every play.
