    Whats up everyone I need some advice on how to proceed in beating this casino

    I have a bankroll of roughly 1800-1900 dollars. I cant afford to lose. Im up to my ears in bills and debts. Im here alone in Vegas. I heard someone mention this website and theres a lot of experienced big time gamblers here.

    A little bit about me... I gamble a lot. On sports, table games, and video blackjack. I have had my heart broken more times than I can count by gambling. Ive had some good runs, but I suspect like most of everyone, I lose in the long run.

    I feel like its possible to win. Not drinking is key. Not chasing is another key. Focus and money management is another.

    Honestly I am not kidding when I say Im hanging by my final thread here. If I lose this time it will be an epic disaster. That can't happen.

    What are some sure ways to come up slowly and build my roll? In the past I have had success at martingaling small stakes video blackjack for a few dollars at a time and building that way. Or betting live games for roughly 100 a game.

    Scary situation. Any advice/input would be welcome!

    Welcome to SBR. JJ Gold has a great tutorial video on throwing dice. I believe he has baccarat figured out as well.

    your ROI will be better and might just learn something about yourself

    Baccarat is your best chance and you have to play the percentages wait for runs and go the other way

    So when banker gets hot, start betting on player? What constitutes hot?

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have heard baccarat has good odds and it does seem to be 50/50. Tough to beat that. Want to elaborate some more JJGold?

    How far down the rabbit hole you want to go?

    Go to the Sportsbook. Wait until jjgold posts a lock here. Then bet the other team with your bankroll.

    Seriously, given your bankroll you shouldn't play anything except blackjack. Live BJ, not the video version, and only if BJ pays 3/2. Before you do so, learn basic strategy, the Hi-Lo card counting system, the deviation numbers and when to raise your bet (google all this) and stick to the $10 table until you double your bankroll, which might take awhile. Don't expect quick riches.

    I know basic strategy... but the thing about this is...

    1) You wont find a SD table that pays 3 to 2 anymore... or maybe you will but they are hard to find

    2) Seems like a dangerous game to play when you have only 1800, what if I lose and start chasing? Theres a lot of variance

    3) Im not sure if I should play 1 hand or 2

    Other than all this, I do agree its a fairly decent plan. Im just not really sure how and when to implement it and what kind of spread I should be utilizing with such a limited roll.
