It's "common knowledge" that blackjack is a -EV game. That being said, how do people play blackjack for a living then?

If the deck has just been shuffled, blackjack is -EV. However, the deck is not shuffled after each hand. Sometimes the cards that have come out make the game +EV. If you notice this, and increase your bets at these times, you might make up for placing small -EV bets while waiting for the favorable situations.
