    Only way to win is to play well enough to manipulate that house edge into your favor.

      Yeah and stay away from slots - all other table/live games are generally fair enough and if you bet on things that have around a 49% chance of winning (99.75% RTP~) it's not so bad there is a real chance of winning a little but yes overtime you would lose it all if you bet it all too fast or too quickly to possibly recover

      @@thedegendan you can suffer some huge losing streaks playing with a mathematical edge. I know because I have even with a 5% edge at blackjack many years ago when that was possible. I can only imagine how bad it can get playing at a mathematical disadvantage.Blackjack on the Las Vegas Strip had a 0.015% house advantage off the top of the deck. Using multiple decks, making the rules less favorable, and reducing deck penetration have made blackjack on the Las Vegas Strip a terrible game to play.

      It’s up to the players to refuse to play these mathematically inferior games. If nobody plays, then the casinos either have to discontinue blackjack, or offer more player friendly games again. When the count strategies came out in the 1960’s, Las Vegas forbid pair splitting except one card on each Ace, and forbid doubling down except on 11. Nobody played. In 3 weeks, they had Togo back to the original rules. So ultimately, the public is the boss. The casinos need players. No players, no money, no profit for the casinos.

      @@emmanuelvacakis4463 just play with one deck and bet lower amounts in comparison to your account value. Yes I've lost my money multiple times but only because I would chase continued losses. Talking about $50-$100 here no more than that within a session

      Usually I can get a 25-125% profit when I win which is around 49% of the time
