Blackjack is a game of skill and for that reason he has specific odds, unlike other casino games. So as much experience you gather the more you increase your chances of wining. The house edge or the odds against you are dependent on how you play the game, so the odds vary. Every decision you make while playing blackjack will change your winning odds. In the long run this is very important. Over time, if you bend on your game more the off, you will most likely have won more, or perhaps lost less.
Some game rules on the casinos can change the house edge. Below is a chart to see how different game rules will modify your BlackJack odds:
