Hi,
It looks to me that the house always has the edge on all the games, so we can't win. Is that correct? If i use the basic strategy for blackjack can i make money in the long run? Thanks

The house doesn't always have the edge, especially not in blackjack.

They wish. I've been crushing the Rolling Stones slot machine by pressing the spin button at the exact perfect time. Let me just put it this way, I've become one with the RNG.

No, you can win short term, but it's strictly a mater of luck.Quote: Vossie... It looks to me that the house always has the edge on all the games, so we can't win. Is that correct?
Only if you are very lucky. Or, read Romes' articles about card counting and how that can shift the edge to your favor. Even then you can lose with bad luck, also known as unfavorable variance.Quote: VossieIf i use the basic strategy for blackjack can i make money in the long run? ...
