    If there’s no skill involved, why play blackjack? If you want randomness you should just go buy lottery tickets. They’re both biased against you, but at least when you fail to win the lottery you’ll know some of your losses went towards education.

      If you play without any strategy, you lose a lot of money very quickly. If you play with perfect strategy, you lose money very slowly. With perfect strategy, you can win enough in blackjack to get hooked on gambling, whereas there’s less of the intermittent reward involved in lottery tickets.
