Ever wonder why casinos don't go out of business? It's because you [b]dont win. By and large you will spend more than you will win. It's entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.[/b]
But guess what? That's right, you can't find one-deck blackjack anywhere in Vegas today. 🙁

Originally posted by AThousandYoungI agree with this, and others. If you own the casino, your the ulimate winner. However, for those that are less fortunate, I would say playing some texas holdem or another form of poker is one of the better decisions. Thats of course, if you have the skill to not just throw your money away. If you know what your doing, you can usually leave with more money in your pocket.
You don't, unless you're playing other customers.
