[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8249874, member: 6790260"] I'm not sure how you got that out of what I said, given that (a) there's stakes, usually money, which makes them gambling as I'd previously said, and (b) no, you really don't have control over the game--the cards fall where they may, as it were. Blackjack, poker, and similar games absolutely [I]are[/I] "the house always wins," at least in the long run--doesn't matter how skillful you are. [I]That's why casinos use them to make money[/I].
