It's lots of fun until you hit a bad run, where every hand you are dealt is a 15 or 16, you always bust and the dealer never does and you lose 6, win one. lose 10, push one, lose 8, win one ........

Baccarat is better. It's blackjack for dummies. There is no decision making involved and for a lot of donks not deciding wheter to hit or stand is +EV [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you can count cards it's a great game - If you can't then it's a very difficult one to play above break even.

If you can count cards, have a sufficient bankroll, can find a game that's actually beatable, and have the stomach to handle the variance, it's a great game. Without counting, blackjack is a sucker's game. It's just not quite as much of a sucker's game as most others in the casino. With counting, your edge is still very small relative to your variance. If you are playing for small stakes, you need to tip very little or not at all, or else you will be giving away enough money to put you back into -EVland. The bad runs will still happen if you are counting. Your worst sessions will be the ones where you frequently get favorable counts, and therefor bet big, but don't get the right cards.
