Basic Blackjack Strategy Question – Making Money?

I know using the basic blackjack strategy at a casino the house still has a slight advantage and will mathematically always win in the long run. But can a player win in the short run? For example, what if I went to a casino with $1000 with an objective to win only half of that and leave with $500 in winnings. How possible and how long would it take to achieve that goal assuming I play perfect blackjack and play 15 or 25 dollar hands.

  1. It just doesn’t work reliably. Remember. Short-term results do not accurately reflect long-term probability. This is true in stocks, gambling, or anything numeric you can measure in varied periods of time.

  2. This is a GAMBLE, you may not win all your hands, and the house may win blackjack. You may have better odds in single deck blackjack…. If all of the aces are played you know not to bet any more,because no one will win black jack!
