yes, but I know I am in the minority...and I know it has nothing to do with my skill....i have had some incredible streaks in BJ and walked away when I was up.
I spent 6 months doing a tv show inside Green Valley Ranch. and I saw first hand on a daily basis just how much money the casino made. and I saw how hard it was to win for the player.

It's not that difficult to be up at land-based casinos. You need to limit yourself to games that can be beat.
I consider those to be only:
Blackjack ( with counting)
Rare slots, VP ( with expert strategy)
Live Poker ( be significantly better than opponents)
Sports ( hit greater than 52.38% against -110)
I don't think any other game belongs on the list. Apoligies to Tate and his Roullette and craps systems.

Tons, took almost a quarter million out of the books back before they cared much. Poker has made me some money and I do believe I am up a little bit playing craps. Blackjack probably has yielded me a small loss since most of the time I don't play it seriously. Almost never play slots or VP.
Indeed it is luck, but I have had some HUGE rolls at the table. One weekend I won almost $10k playing almost nothing but craps, one of those runs where everything went right. I have given some of that back over time, but I just enjoy it. I used to count cards, but I just play BJ too recreationally to bother with it. Just go basic strategy and don't mind giving up a few bucks to the house if need be. I still remember once in awhile playing in a casino is supposed to be entertainment, not necessarily just about getting an edge.
L10 yrs played almost exclusivly BJ # Indian Casinos. 1st few yrs was up a lot, but they have tightened down and it`s tougher now. Don`t go much anymore and play mostly online. What happens when you get older I guess, the days of 14 hr sessions @ the table are gone along w/a lot of other things. But I DO enjoy sports betting and may go out to LV or Reno this fall.

WB: I wan't a mathematically sound reason why craps is beatable, or any other casino game, I consider dice to lack that. Variance is one thing, craps has that.
Have you tracked the result of every craps bet, you've made in your lifetime ?
Math suggests you should be behind. I can't prove it or disprove it !
I don't have a record of every bet BJ I ever made, either !
