Blackjack has the best odds of winning, with a house edge of just 1 percent in most casinos, Bean said. Plus, you are playing against only the dealer, not hooded poker champions.

While luck certainly does have a part to play in Blackjack, there is a lot of skill that goes into playing the game. How much skill or strategy you use depends on the time and effort you are willing to put into learning these skills. One such skill is card counting-not like by casinos but certainly not illegal.
