The popular one is Red & Black on roulette. But which game offers the best chance to win on a one time only bet? BJ, Bacc, Paigow, something else..?

Even money bets on roulette are probably the worst, actually, given that you have a 18/38 or 47.36% chance to win. Craps pass line would be ~49.2% to win, if my math is right. Idk about bacc or paigow, but I believe the player is more likely than 50% to win, but he also has to give up a 5% commission (excluding bacc player bet).

The Banker wins 50.7% of all winning hands in Baccarat. A bet on Banker is the best bet in the casino.

As others have said, the banker bet in bacc would be your best choice. In the event of a winning banker bet, you will be charged a 5% commission - even with the juice, it is a better option than the player bet. GL.

You can avoid the 5% commission by playing EZ Baccarat. The commission is replaced by barring a three card total of 7 on winning Banker hands. It's a push. Also, slightly lower H.E. than regular baccarat.
Laying the 4 or the 10 in craps actually offers the best chance of winning a one time only bet. 2 to 1 in the bettor's favor. You get paid half your bet minus the vig.

You could get a 95-99% chance of winning betting on the Warriors, Rockets, or Cavs to win their series.

Good call. Forgot about EZ bacc. Definitely the better choice.
