If you had to win one bet and had only one chance at it

[Penguinfan]

What would you bet on?

Here are the conditions:

You won a free $5000 bet from the casino, not a match play, but a free $5000 to wager.

You have to wager it all on one bet, if you win you get to keep the $5000, if you lose you get nothing.

You can choose any game in the casino, what would you play?

One hand of blackjack?
Black/red or eve/odd on a double zero roulette wheel?
Pass line or don't pass line in craps?
Other?

I'm tempted to say the pass line in craps because you are 2-1 favorite on the come out roll. If you miss on the come out roll you are as much as a 2-1 dag after that, though.

One shot, what do you play? I'd like to hear from the math guys on this one.

The answer is the Banker in Bacarrat

45.859 percent chance of winning the 5000 dollars

If the dealer ties it is a push.

Answer is Bank in Baccarat




But the real answer with what penguin said above is the casino game "War". 50 percent chance of winning. But they would have to give you the extra 5000 dollars if you went to War on a push.
