In casinos that shuffle a bit earlier than most, meaning they dont go very deep into their shoe without shuffling, you cannot gain as big an edge as in casinos where they go very very deep into the shoe before shuffling. For example, it is very plausible and possible to win 6 or 7 straight times in a row while playing roullette. If you notice that you have seen a lot more low cards than high cards, that means the deck is saturated with an unnaturally high proportion of high cards compared to normal. They are not opinions. So yes, obviously the house is "beating you" at poker, since they are raking you, and they are taking free money from you where you have no risk of "beating them back. Its as simple as that. The point is that by using perfect basic strategy, you will be giving up a 1. This is different from say, poker, where you are not playing against the house, but rather you are playing against other opponents, much like yourself, and the house is merely raking a bit on the side as you play. They are not theories.

This edge will vary from casino to casino, based on how deep they go into the show before shuffling. This is because of the stuff I said above, about high card richness in relation to the amount of cards left in the shoe. It was pretty luckky that that happened, but it did happen, and so you just made a nice amount of money, in an extroardinarily short amount of time. Okay that roullete example should give you a good idea of what things like "long run" and "edge" and "short term" mean Just like roullette, or any of the other games where you play against the house the house simply has an unbeatable mechanical edge, due to the structure of the game. The only way to beat blackjack in the long-run is by card-counting a very meek slow living or to hole card dealers in pitch games. You may lose , dollars in one unluckier-than-fck night. The problem is, these kinds of short, ut powerful streaks of good fortune stick out in one's memory a lot better than those equally short and powerful streaks of 7 straight lost wagers in a row. Not all poker players are created equal. In the short run, it is impossible to predict precisely what will happen, but in the long run at this roullette game where the house has a small but permanent edge over your wagers, you will absoultely positively lose your money to them if you play for long enough, it is merely a matter of time. Did you have an edge over the house when this occurred? If there were no green squares, you could theoretically play for you whole life for 10 hours a day every day year after year, decade after decade, and expect to make no money after all these tens of thousands of hours of playing. Just because in the long run say , bets placed would be considered "long-run" you will absolutely be guaranteed to lose money, due to that slight edge the house has over you kicking in slowly but surely over the course of such an enormous sample size of bets placed, does NOT mean that you can never experience a bit of short-term winning.

Thats as close as you can get to beating them. Blackjack is a game that is played against the house. They are facts. Sure every now and then you might have a hot day, and every now and then you might have a cold day, but in the long run, if there were only red tiles and black tiles, and no green tiles, and you kept picking red or black, you would neither gain nor lose any edge on the house, and they would neither gain nor lose any edge on you.

In the game of blackjack, the house has a mechanical and permanent edge over you. The reason you can't cardcount online is that they shuffle after every hand. If you place a 1 dollar bet that the coin comes up tails, and your buddy placed a 1 dollar bet that it would come up heads, and you tried this several hundred million times, assuming you were both immortal, and had no access to sorority chicks, and so on, then in the super duper long run, you would both expect to have 1 dollar give or take a few bucks at the end of the match.
