Before you can intelligently attempt to beat the casino at blackjack, you have to realize where their edge comes from in the first place. In this game, you're not just betting with 18 ways to win and 20 ways to lose the way you are with "red" in roulette.

No, blackjack is not that simple, and it's not that absolute. There are thousands upon thousands of variables involved.

Still and all at first blush though, things seem pretty even. I mean, you're trying to make 21 and the dealer's trying to make 21. You draw cards and the dealer draws cards. If you both get 18, it's a "push". What could be fairer than that?
Well, things would be a lot fairer if you could get a “push” on 22; or on 26! But that’s not how it is.

Think of it this way: Showing up at the tables without the proper bankroll and associated session packets is like showing up on a battlefield with rifles and no bullets! And no one in his right mind would do that, would he?
