Actually, Blackjack is about the only game where a player can have the

The advantage is pretty small though.

And if they suspect you are counting you will be detained & asked to
leave, and your name & picture wil end up on a black list. Counting is
considered cheating. How would they know you are counting, if you do
it all in your head? In reality, if you hang out there long enough,
and win too much, you will be banned, even if they can't figure out
how you're doing it. They reserve the right to refuse service to
anyone. Bottom line, it's entertainment.
