So, the first thing to do, is to set a maximum and minimum cash reserve level at which you will stop playing.

Secondly, no matter what strategy is used, the odds lay mainly in favour of the house. These can be reduced, though, and with a good basic strategy, may even come down to almost 50/50. So, this means that a matter of luck/chance/probability/possibility is also involved in winning, depending on your definition of what the odds are.
