Do you believe in the perfect black jack theory?

I was talking to Eddie a few weeks ago about the best way to wager for a race and he told me about the perfect blackjack theory which you can google i'm not gonna go into detail about it right here. (He mentioned it on his last stream iirc)

But I told my friends about it and they didn't really think it was a real thing. Effectively you're playing with a %0.48 house edge and that's very low for a crypto casino. That's where they didn't believe it.

It got me wondering if other people think it's a smart thing to do or think its just a waste of time? Let me know your opinions.

nope. if my understanding is correct all the seed is connected with some others and if  others is rolling in the same seed the combination of the cards is shuffle . and if my understanding with the seed is wrong then the theory and strategy of black jack in some combination maybe effective .

you mean perfect blackjack strategy? If you are gambling and don't know this strategy by heart then you've been playing blackjack at a much higher house edge. A 0.48% is an industry standard for blackjack where you will anywhere, so I don't know why your friends are surprised. I've played blackjack on another site with 0% house edge where you can double split aces and surrender your hand if you got a shit hand.

I do not believe in these theories and strategies. Perhaps they can be applied in real casinos, but not in online casinos where endless decks of cards. It seems to me that nothing but good luck is working here.

Yes, I believe in math, and since the rules of blackjack are fixed and the deck of cards is fixed, there is an optimal strategy, usually referred to as Basic Strategy.  Several examples of this have been posted to the internet including threads in this forum and if you are old it was almost always the first or second chapter in books about how to play blackjack.

I think I'm starting to understand why so many people lose if they don't "believe" in a basic strategy for blackjack.

You realize that by using this theory you would get better, probably a lot better?  I'd encourage you to check it out!

Hard to believe in this theory, but BlackJack have really lowest House Edge.

Yes, the low house edge on blackjack assumes the player will employ the basic strategy.  That is why adjusting the dealer rules, e.g. hitting soft 17 changes the house edge.

Even if you don't believe it, I'd encourage you to investigate it and learn, it will probably help your game.

I would have to somewhat agree that even the perfect strategy is not as effective when you are playing with infinite decks of cards.  I still believe that playing with the correct strategy can limit your losses in the long run, but surely an infinite number of cards can skew even the perfect BJ play.

I'm not sure about that because stake is using infinite deck for the blackjack (cmiiw). Most of online casinos also like that, it's hard to apply that theory/strategy into this. It might different on real/live casino though.

Very true what wry is saying.

I've played by it and against it and won way more when I played by that strategy. It's just basic math like you said in your first post.

A house edge where you can edit it it 0.48% is kind of unbelievable have you tried it and seen if it works ? Cant believe it is true but will try it out and see but cant say it would work.

Well the thing about things that are proven is that you don't particularly need to believe in them. 

I did try it out for an afternoon during the blackjack challenge and it seemed ok to me, although the part where you hit on a soft 18 (!) vs 10 seems kinda wild.
