Unless you are the one setting the odds... or you have much more money than the person setting them - in which case you can do doubling (or some similar method), and break their bank taking all of their money.

i hear selling eggs (the human kind) is quite a good way to make money, but the best I've ever heard of, and surely what will pay off all my student loans one day...being a hostess in japan, seriously, japanese business men pay huuuge amounts of money for western ladies to just sit there and laugh at their jokes! how brilliant! yes ok there are the occasional japanese mafia bosses who maybe threaten death to just the occasional hostess BUT that's very rare, better odds then in the lottery at any rate. a few months in japan and you're set for life, if you don't die of course...
