LAZAREK: Can you make a profit at blackjack?
FLYNT: Oh, sure. I've won more money playing blackjack probably than I have at poker.
LAZAREK: How do you do that? Do you just use basic strategy, or are you counting the deck somehow?
FLYNT: No. I play basic strategy. You see, you start counting cards, and messing with your bets, and you'll just get barred. Any casino will do that.
LAZAREK: But… but doesn't basic strategy have a negative expectation in the long run?
FLYNT: No, because the problem is nine out of ten blackjack players who are usually playing in a casino don't KNOW basic strategy. They know when to double down, and maybe when to hit, but they don't know how to properly use it. I will only play at a table by myself. I won't play at a table with those idiots, because they'll mess the whole deck up. They don't know what they're doing.
