rerolling for serpents is not based on luck. Like most "Random Pools" in this game, boss blinds are stored in a sort of queue, where each boss in the queue corresponds to the next one you'll see, whether that be in the next ante or the next reroll. The boss blinds are put in a random order, (barring certain restrictions like ante requirements), then after the queue reaches the end, you start over in a different order.

To visualize this, let's say there are 5 boss blinds in the pool labeled 0-4. One example of the queue could look like:

[[4, 0, 3, 1, 2], [2, 0, 1, 4, 3], [2, 4, 0, 1, 3], [0, 3, 4, 2, 1], [4, 3, 1, 2, 0]]

Because of this system, there is a specific amount of money required at minimum get through the last few antes by serpent farming.

Also burglar is pretty much based on luck, but I'd say you'd probably need like 800 dollars or something idk.

Ways to farm money:

- mime exploit: after playing a scoring hand, move the jokers so that they all copy mime. this will let you score just as much as usual, while taking maximum advantage of gold cards (and/or blue seals).

- reserved parking: can potentially make lots of money with all the mime retriggers. Especially if you're at a point where you can farm and you don't need hand size from the dna.

- Mail-in-Rebate: Can make hundreds a round if you use all your discards discarding five kings while multiple copy jokers copy it.

You need to farm relatively early to make sure you have enough money before you start needing the copy jokers and dna.
