Disclaimer
This training has been created for educational purposes only. It does not promote gambling as a lifestyle. Nor does it aim to promote any specific casinos or commercial establishments. Like this training, gambling should be treated as entertainment. It should not be confused with a career or lifestyle; you cannot make a living off of casino Blackjack. Gambling can become an addictive activity, which can have severe monetary or other consequences for those that take it too far. See http://www.knowtherisks.ca/ for more information on the risks of gambling and the steps you can take if you or a loved one has a gambling addiction.
While many consider Blackjack to have some of the best odds of any casino game, the truth is that the casino will always have a slight statistical advantage, no matter what the rules are or what strategy is employed. Even with the most advantageous strategy and rules, the odds will be 0.5% in favour of the casino. However, on average the casino will have a 2-5% advantage. This means that, over time, for every $100 bet, you will lose between $2 and $5.
