Question

like say the deck is +5 or something and u have more of a chance to get hiher cards, doesnt the dealer have te same chance of getting them cards???

Answer 1

Even when you have an edge at an astronomically high count, the dealer continues to win slightly more hands than you do, and you will never win more than him.

The edge you gain in blackjack comes from the players ability to split, double down, surrender, and get payed 3:2 for blackjacks when the dealer cannot.  You also make a lot of money on the insurance bet when the count is high enough.

The cards do not neccesarily have to land on you, the dealer will experience more blackjack at high counts just as you will, however like i said, you get payed 3:2 the dealer just wins the original bet.
