Sorry If I Misunderstood Your Words.

What's remarkable is that no matter how many times I point out that my question contains both a "practical" and "sheer curiosity" component, that the practical component has been sufficiently answered and that I have no intention of going into a casino with just enough knowledge to squeak by, you keep insisting my question is purely practical.
I'm interested in the Riemann zeta-hypothesis too and I'm I'm quite sure that won't help me in a casino. Is that OK with you?
So you can keep insisting your motives are my motives but I'm going to keep calling you on it.

There is no one number, very condition dependent.
Small errors are not disasterous.
Your margin of error in real life will probably be higher then at home, so marginal home play may not bode well for the real world.
You should strive for a high level of ability before risking real money.
Mistakes will happen, try to avoid them.
I don't think anywhere in my posts did I threaten to kick your puppy.
