Look, man, I would never offer a bet that I wouldn't take myself. You want to show how great you are, but fear that the next guy is better.
My exact proposition to Argentino was I could take a $2000 bankroll at 8 AM and gamble it up to a $2500 bankroll by midnight. Are you saying you can do the same thing?
Sure, why not? Without any angle(s), there is a 2,000/2,500 = 0.8 chance of turning $2,000 in $2,500.

Over a few bets, the HE is negligible. I wouldn't take Shacky's (shaky) advice for two-step progression betting - it's on his Odds site somewhere - and bet one-third of it, and the other two-thirds if lose that in an attempt to make more money than required. I'd bet $500, and then a $1000 if lose that, or try to rebuild by doubling the remaining $500 if lose the first two bets. The 3/4 chance of not losing both bets, plus the chance to recoup and try again.

At regular baccarat, though, I would have to factor in the commission on any banker bets won. And for fun wait till the last hands of shoes to pick a good one: lots of 2's and 3's for the player, and 7's and 8's for the banker. Maybe even the tie-bet if lots of face cards left. Or for one of those flashed or misplayed cards on a previous hand. Could happen. For sure, the blackjack AP-thing would be too risky over the course of just a single day. Or find a lesser HE on a different casino game where available. I would be leery about going to casino X on day Y. The casino and day would have to be picked somewhat at random. Somewhat typical playing conditions.

In any event, I have to figure that if you average only around $500 a normal day, as you used to say, then your chance of making $500 on any given day can't be too much better than 0.8 .
