Situation Advice

[BlodiaInc]

I count very well using Kiss III, and I have an $850 dollar bankroll. I need to make another $3000 within the next couple of days. I am just trying to get a feel for the math with how feasible this is? The rules are h17, DAS, LS. While I have my own betting spread, can someone recommend a general strategy (suggestions like wonging, etc.) or betting spread that would be "safe" but aggressive enough to get there? I am just not sure how to approach this.

Are you serious mate? You want a "safe" playing/betting to QUADRUPLE your bankroll "in a couple of days", well it all depends on what you consider safe, but <0.0001% of reaching your goal before going bankrupt doesn't look good to me.

Not feasible at all. I hate how this sort of stuff persists.

Say you play 16 hours; that's $187/hr you're hoping to make. No way in hell, even with a 6-figure BR. You'll almost certainly lose the whole thing quickly if you even try.

I know it's an extreme longshot, but I was looking for any kind of suggestions... anything to minimize risk but still make some $$$

[jaredmt]

bring more money, only play at TC of +1 or better, only play at $5 and $10 minimum tables. and lower you're expectation to maybe a 50% or even 25% increase, rather than expecting to make over 3.5x ur br. that's a good start

Stop posting and go out and try and find a table that will deal you 300 hands per hour. Take No-Doz and play for 100 hours straight. With 30,000 hands and a 1% advantage @ $10 units, you should have a 50% chance of being able to make $3,000.

Then pay off whatever mob-affiliated loan shark you borrowed money from before he breaks your kneecaps, and then take a big nap.

Or you can try the pawn shops and get rid of everything you own and love. Also a tried and true method is working the street corners, a little sucky sucky 5 dollar. You should reach your quota quickly.

I would also recommend selling posessions and/or yourself. Or a job.

Make a big reality check on risk: how much worse would your situation be if you lost the $850 as well?

Gambling wise, I'd recommend whoring some casino bonuses (www.beatingbonuses.com), you can get started with $850. You'd have a very good shot of getting to $3000 with lowish RoR, but it would probably take a few months.

soo you want 850 to be 3850 in a couple days with a safe strategy?
what did you do? how much is the computer your using now worth? have a car? if all you have is a car and are using a library computer take that 850 buy some gas and food and get outa that town

edit:
actually this is the perfcect time for a progression system! if your situation is you need to pay mr pimp joe his 3850 dollars exactly not a dollar short or get shot in the kneecaps this is your best bet.

go to roulette, war, or the craps passline (although this is to slow) pick one color and bet on it start at 10 and double it every time you lose, when you win go back to the 10 bet. This way you either make your money back with a much much much lower ror than blackjack or lose and just be where your at now. I think this would be one of your best ways to get to 3850 or be shot
