Agreed. Also - surprising they mentioned blackjack - can't you turn the odds in your favor with card counting and rational betting?

  You can with card counting (and you'll get kicked out). Even with perfect rational betting the house has the edge.

    Perfect rational betting without card counting is to not play at all, since the house has a ~0.5% edge on a fresh deck (depending on the exact rule variations).
