COCKROACH PIG in Baccarat
Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2023 12:46 pm
Playing off the Small Road, we have the last baccarat road type, also known as the Cockroach Pig.
The origin of the name “Cockroach Pig”
It’s believed that “Cockroach” is based on the Cantonese word kat tsat lo (曱甴路,) which translates to Xuntong Road. The simplified “Cockroach” derives from it being understood by both Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking players while being similar to the Cantonese pronunciation.
“Pig,” on the other hand, is as simple as a snippet of a direct translation from a Chinese name for the road.
How to read the Cockroach Pig
Like with the Small Road, you’ll here pretend that columns two and three don’t exist.
Just follow the same tactic as when reading the Big Eye Boy, pretend that the two columns to the left of the current one aren’t there, and you are good to go!
