I know a guy who plays Baccarat a couple times a month. He brings several grand as a bankroll, plays for an hour or less, and walks away with $300 - $500 winnings just about every time. Worst case he breaks even. Just anecdotal, but if you have the willpower to walk away when you're up it can be done.

The live card games are definitely where it's most possible, although I'm not very familiar with baccarat.

I usually win a couple hundred bucks when I play blackjack. The trick is to only bet what you bring to the table, and walk away as soon as you are ahead, or you’re busted. You’ll never win much with this strategy, but you’ll never lose much either.

I typically get $200 in chips and as soon as I’m up $200 or more I’m out. If I lose my original $200 I’m out too. I walked away with an extra 2-300 last few times I played but I know that doesn’t mean I won’t lose everything the next few times I play. The mentality is more like “I’m willing to spend $200 to have a bit of fun.” And not actually care too much if I win or lose.
