Baccarat terms, translated into plain English.

This glossary is for people who keep hearing the same table-reading words without being sure what they actually mean. The goal is not to sound advanced. The goal is to make the language usable.

Big Road

The main road that records resolved Player and Banker results as columns of circles. It is the base structure for everything else.

Derivative Roads

Secondary roads that judge the geometry of the Big Road rather than directly naming Player or Banker.

Big Eye Boy

An early derivative road that reacts to whether the Big Road is preserving a consistent shape.

Small Road

A later derivative road that gives another structural opinion, often treated as steadier confirmation.

Cockroach Pig

The latest of the common derivative roads and another way to evaluate structure agreement versus disorder.

Streak

A run of the same winning side continuing down one Big Road column.

Turn

The moment the winning side changes and a new Big Road column begins to the right.

Tie

A tied hand. On many roads it decorates the existing result rather than forming a new main circle.

Rhythm

The feel of how the shoe is moving, including pace, repetition, hesitation, and transition.

Structure

The visual shape of the road: how columns, turns, and repeated patterns are organizing themselves.

Continuation

A table behavior that keeps expressing the same kind of structure without obvious disruption.

Transition

A phase where the shoe appears to be changing personality and can become harder to trust.

Chaos

A messy or low-agreement phase where the board may be too inconsistent to respect confidently.

Family

A shorthand label for the kind of shoe structure the table currently resembles, such as dragon-like or more mixed.

Archive Memory

Comparing the current shoe prefix to past shoes to see whether the table resembles older structures.

Dojo Read

The app's combined interpretation of structure, rhythm, memory, and current shoe behavior.
