This is interesting as all the other casino games doe not favor the player, in fact the core thing is that casino has better odds.
The advantage is small... like 1% over the house, as I recall. This is due to the different rules for the dealer than player. A dealer has to hit on 16. Has to stay on 17 etc. A player can be more flexible and has no such restraints. It is a game that relies on the irrationality of people.... and betting on the irrationality of people always pays off in the end
