<br>This strange, deeply dramatic process is universally known in the [casino](http://162.215.134.149:4000/hesterpruett0/myempire2008/wiki/%CE%97-%CE%BC%CE%AC%CF%87%CE%B7-%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82-%CE%A1%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%AD%CF%84%CE%B1%CF%82%3A-%CE%91%CE%BC%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AE-%CE%AE-%CE%95%CF%85%CF%81%CF%89%CF%80%CE%B1%CF%8A%CE%BA%CE%AE%3B) world as "squeezing" the cards, and it is the absolute soul of high-stakes Baccarat.<br>

<br>To an outside observer, this slow, destructive manipulation of casino property seems entirely pointless, especially since Baccarat is a game of pure, unalterable luck.<br>

The Illusion of Control in Baccarat
|
||||
<br>The ritual of the squeeze provides this psychological release, allowing the player to feel as though they are physically wrestling a winning number out of the cardboard.<br>

How to Execute the Perfect Squeeze
|
||||
<br>If the player sees absolutely no pips at the top, they immediately know the card is a low-value 2 or 3, or a terrible Ace.<br>
|
||||
<br>If they see three pips ("three legs"), the card is a 6, 7, or 8, which is exactly what a Baccarat player desperately wants to see.<br>
|
||||
The Financial Reality of the Squeeze
|
||||
<br>Because a player squeezing a card leaves a permanent crease, that specific deck of cards can absolutely never be used again to prevent cheating.<br>
|
||||
<br>To the casino, the cost of replacing a $2 deck of cards is mathematically insignificant compared to a whale casually betting $200,000 per hand.<br>
