Blackjack has set odds. Unless you're counting cards, you're losing.

That being said, the edge to the house is .5-1%, depending on the specific table rules. When I go to Vegas, and they supply me with free drinks, it's a great game to play. I'll play for hours, lose a little cash, but be very entertained and drink a lot.

The odds chart says hit that 16 or split those double 8s, but man that just doesn't feel right every time you do it.

Online blackjack is a horrendously boring game to play, with no chance of wining.
