If you're a blackjack player and you follow a basic strategy, developed by a computer for the game of blackjack, you will reduce the house edge to approximately a half percent. On some games the house edge will be even lower than a half percent. The house edge could be two-tenths of one percent. In some other games, the house edge might be a little higher than a half percent. But using basic strategy keeps the house edge containable. If you don't use basic strategy, you're going to face edges of one, two, three, even upwards of six or seven percent. So it's always wise to use the basic strategy.
