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."
