Desperate Times: Is Going All-In in Baccarat a Smart Move?

[Xiao36]

Hey folks, I am down $4,000 gambling online. I've been considering depositing $500 and attempting to run it up to $8,000 before permanently banning myself from online casinos. My plan involves playing baccarat and going all-in four times, doubling my money each time. I've had good streaks before, winning multiple hands in a row, so I think this strategy has a good chance of success. Here’s the breakdown: $500 to $1,000, $1,000 to $2,000, $2,000 to $4,000, and finally $4,000 to $8,000, then cash out and quit gambling entirely. What do you think?

I tried a similar strategy once, and it didn't end well. I was $1,800 down and managed to win $2,500, but then my account got suspended and I never received the money. Be cautious.

Dude, why not try video poker? Triple bonus poker could be a better alternative for you. It's fun and can be profitable.

Your strategy seems overly optimistic. If you didn’t have the discipline to avoid losing $4,000, what makes you think you can execute this plan perfectly? Consider putting your money into something more stable like the S&P 500 and thank me later.

Thanks for the advice, but I think I can manage this. Any other suggestions?

Posts like these always make me chuckle. If you’re already losing this much, it’s best to just stop. Gambling isn’t worth the risk, especially when you have family and friends who care about you.

Don’t do it. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not a way to make money. Keep track of your spending, and if you’re not having fun, take a break to clear your head.

Maybe try it with smaller bets first to get a reality check. Betting $1 at a time can show you how tough it is to win consistently.

Install some gambling blocking software now and never look back. It’s the best decision you can make for your future.

I get that, but I really believe I can pull this off. Maybe I'm just being stubborn.

Chasing your losses is a bad idea. Online casinos aren’t necessarily rigged, but the house always has the edge. You’ll likely end up losing more money.

Yeah, chasing losses never ends well. Why not just take a break and reassess?

So you’re saying there’s no hope? That’s kinda discouraging.

 

[Thomas.t.T.E.]

Winning four all-in bets in a row is very unlikely. It might be better to cut your losses and seek help if gambling is becoming a problem.

Sounds like a risky plan. If it doesn’t work out, you might end up deeper in debt. Gambling isn’t a reliable way to fix financial problems.

 

[Xiao36]

But what if I just need one big win to break even?

 

[cih.oxe]

The odds of hitting four hands in a row are quite low. You’re more likely to lose everything. Be realistic about your chances.

 

[coinrush777]

If you go through with this, make sure to document it. This would be interesting to see.

 

[h.h.]

Documenting it might help you see the reality. It’s risky, and you need to be aware of that.

It sounds like you’re not really serious about quitting. Even if you win, you might not stop.
