I want to play blackjack online for real money

has anyone got solid advice for playing blackjack online with crypto, specifically for real money? i’m not looking for vibes or “gut feelings,” just actual numbers or strategies. i know basic strategy is the starting point but it seems like the house edge is always there unless you can count cards, which isn’t possible online because of the shuffle after every hand.

also, i keep hearing about “provably fair” games and how the odds are supposed to be transparent, but i still wonder if it’s really any better than traditional online casinos. is there any statistical advantage? anybody actually run simulations on these sites and found patterns worth knowing? is there a way to minimize losses or am i just donating every time i play?
