"You win in blackjack when the sum of your cards equals twenty-one or less and you beat the dealer. You beat the dealer when you have a higher hand or the dealer goes over twenty-one."

"In order to keep the house edge, casinos offer games where they win outright more often or they offer games where the player may win more often, but doesn't get paid the true odds."

"There are four casino workers at a craps table and three separate sections. The two outside betting sections are mirrors of each other with one dealer controlling bets for the section in front of him."

"The only game where the probabilities change is in blackjack, where every card dealt alters the probability of which card will be next. EV in blackjack can alternate between positive and negative."

"Nearly every casino game in the world has an EV under zero, which means that the house has an edge over the player. You might win occasionally, but in the long run you will lose."
