None of these are easy. Best thing to do is just play whatever game you like and make your bets small enough that you don't lose more than you can afford.

Firstly, only gamble if you are desperate. Figure that the Mafia will give you a nice pair of cement shoes if you don't cough up the cash, period, and you don't have enough.

Take everything you have. Slap it down on something that looks like the odds are only slightly against you. Walk away with whatever you win. You're done. Either you're now saved (and never do this again!), or you're still a dead man.
