If I am playing blackjack and have a pair of aces against a 6 or 7 by the dealer the right strategy is to put more money on the table and split .... just because it is the best strategy and is statistically a good call does not mean it is not gambling.If you miss you aren't doing anything to help either.  Your entire "strategy" is based on your "gamble" paying off .... just like if you choose to split aces at the blackjack table.</blockquote>
