Gambling. No lose strategy.

Is there a strategy where you can stay in a casino for weeks at a time playing cards or slots & actually make money?
What bankroll would you start with? Blackjack is probably your best bet, you have to play smart because remember you must continually win money, because this is a business venture so to speak.

Maybe, but it’s a gamble

Don’t gamble.

No such thing long term if you play against the house. You will always lose. If you play against other gamblers (horses, sports, poker) you have a chance if you're very smart and very disciplined. With the amount of effort that takes, it becomes just another job, and a highly stressful one at that. You'd be better off working 9-5.
That said, the Kelly Criterion is what you're looking for. It will slow down the loss of your bankroll. Content warning: there's math involved LINK

Only possibility is to not play against the house. Which you can do in a casino poker room. You're playing against the other players, not the house, so a really good player can wait out variance and make money. Unless you end up in a poker room with tons of other great players.

Jacks or better video poker optimum strategy are the best odds of any casino game. 99.54% return on your money, so you still lose.

You don't lose at JOB if you play "above the house" which means when you add in comps. Plus, you play where they have promotions, play to the best promotions.
Plus, JOB is NOT the best game. There are a couple of deuces wild games, though hard to find, but there, that are over 100 percent.
All that said, it's not easy being an AP. It takes work to get there - and stay there.

The only legal way to guarantee steady money from gambling is to go to work in a casino. An advantage player can play a winning game, but because of variance the money does not come steadily.

Nope.

Double your bet until you win. Simple math.

There is a way, but you have to have a large bankroll, and the casino will likely kick you out. It’s doubling your initial bet until you hit then starting the process over.
But casinos kick people out who they see doing this

I’m not a gambler, but I think that’s why they usually have maximum bets. You can only double so many times.

You can "have an edge over the house" if you count cards in Blackjack. That coupled with money management techniques can have you winning a decent amount consistently.
The issues are the automatic/constant shufflers and the size of the boots compared to how many cards are played before another reshuffle. That coupled with the fact that you need a big roll to start and have to take on a bunch of risk periodically in some of these money management techniques have you handcuffed.

Exactly. Doubling is risky as hell. You can always go to a larger table (til you can't) but it isn't advised. Even at a $5 table, if you lose 8x in a row and delay your double to the 2nd time you lose in a row, you are looking at risking 640. Lose again and you will likely be going to a table with bigger mins/max where you no longer have a count going and are now betting 1280 just to break even.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.

Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered.
An old man told me that back in my early 20s when I first started playing blackjack. Stuck with me to this day. Once I triple my investment, I’m out.

I have been very successful at the buffet tables.

If I ever even think about going to Las Vegas I just mail them a check for half of what I would have taken with me, saves me money.
