I could, and have a fair number of times during my experiment and logging, played at the exact same table(s) with someone playing by "the rules", with the same bank roll (or more) and have seen them lose their ass. Same as many BJ vets have seen people who do not follow "the rules", playing crazy, or more like ignoring the basic strategy, and win a shit load.

As I have repeatedly mentioned, part of it will come down to HOW you play. If you play for a day, or long stints. Mathematically, following the basic strategy, you should win. If you are playing in short burst, hit and run, you are going to be able to be more flexible with how you play, and basic strategy. Including card progression, or progressive betting (if you use those).

In the end it's gambling, mathematics and luck.
