If you're a fan of blackjack, then you have two choices of where to play. Either at a real land-based casino or at an online website. Both have their pluses and minuses. The main differences aren't so much about the gameplay. That remained more or less the same for both. However, the fact that one involves a social aspect, whereas playing online is a more singular activity, makes a huge difference to the overall playing experience. Also, there's the sheer convenience of playing from anywhere.

There are many ways that you an gain an upper hand when playing blackjack at the land based casino. They all fall under the title of advantage play. Essentially, you're finding ways to beat the casino's fixed advantage, also known as the house edge. The most well known method is card counting, though this is less relevant today than it was 20 years ago. Then there are things like trying to spot the dealers down card or marking the backs of the cards themselves. Finally, we have plain cheating.
