Answer 1

A dealer at a blackjack table has a statistical advantage over the player because of the rules of the game. One key rule is that the player must act before the dealer, which means that the player may bust (go over 21) before the dealer has to make a decision. Additionally, the dealer must follow a specific set of rules for how to play their hand, which limits their options and increases the chances that they will make a favorable play. Finally, if the player busts, the dealer wins regardless of the value of the dealer’s hand, giving the dealer an additional advantage.
