Blackjack soft 18 decisions: why do basic strategy guides disagree on this
I get what you’re saying about tiny edges, but the catch is how casinos layer in stuff like table maxes or payout tweaks to quietly tilt long term results. Reminds me of roulette when they skip fairness audits on sites like bet365 - small rule gaps add up, just not in the ways most players notice. I used to think it’d even out by the end of the night, but a few subtle changes and you feel it over months, not hours.
