Blackjack

Blackjack is the lowest-edge mainstream casino game when played with correct basic strategy - as low as 0.4% house edge on Vegas Strip rules with a single deck, 3:2 blackjack payout, dealer stands on soft 17 and double-after-split allowed.

Avoid 6:5 blackjack payouts at all costs - they raise the house edge from ~0.5% to roughly 1.9%, which is worse than European roulette. Stick to 3:2 tables, which all reputable Evolution and Playtech live tables offer.

Side bets (Perfect Pairs, 21+3) carry house edges of 3%–7% and should be treated as entertainment, not value. Card counting is impossible online - both RNG (re-shuffled every hand) and live (multi-deck shoes shuffled at 50% penetration) defeat any practical advantage system.
