Of course, if you bet a straight-up number, obviously, this is completely different. For blackjack, with ties excluded, you lose a hand about 51.76% of the time (rather rules dependent). So, it falls right in between the two roulette values, and there's no reason to expect that the streaks of loss will be, in your words, "much better."

Don, apologies in advance for a question from the obtuse (me). We know that roulette is a carnival game with an HE an order of magnitude higher than bj. Then how is it the probabilities of winning a single roulette spin or bj hand are nearly equivalent? Thanks
