How does a Casino’s edge work in Blackjack? It feels like the player and the dealer should have the same odds if they play the same (eg, always hit on soft 17).
In: Mathematics
People are right in that it’s a huge advantage to go last. This is largely mitigated though by the casino having to play in a predefined way for example always hitting soft 17 even if the player is standing at 16. Also all the little bonus like blackjack and DD/split. However I’m going to go ahead and say the majority of the casino’s advantage in blackjack comes from players playing sub-optimally. Especially over time.
