Bpb,

Since you have shown such intelligence and class, I will dignify your question with a response.

When you play blackjack, do you normally have a 45% edge?

When people refer to a casino game as having an edge of x%, the are almost always refering to the house edge. Party's blackjack has a house edge of around .55%. So there's an expected loss of $5.50 per $1000 wagered. That of course assumes perfect basic strategy. Your average player is probably averaging closer to 1% house edge.

If you don't understand a statistic that someone has posted, ask for a clarification. It's a pet peeve of mine when people start pulling out the "it's rigged" stick with no justification.
