Do some research. Yes, the more decks put odds in the favor of the player. However, it's still about an average max of 1% chance of winning. The best odds are blackjack paying 2 to 1. And that there is only a 2.27% chance of winning.

Keno has the highest odds with about 29% chance. Then comes Big Six (that big wheel you spin with dollar amounts on it.) Slot machines actually have better odds of winning.

You also have to keep in mind payouts on BlackJack and most table blackjacks start at $5 minimum. There are very very few $1 tables left. So, you play a larger amount of money in 2 minutes.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
