If you play a basic strategy that’s at least adequate, you’ll tend to beat the house edge.  “Basic strategy” is a term in gambling that means choosing what’s best by picking a card or two and following a basic set of rules, like always hitting when your score is 16 or less, and standing when it’s higher.

It’s really impossible to guarantee a “better” or “optimal” strategy, or one that always wins.  It’s just not a science.  All we can really do is follow a set of basic rules that are “good enough” in most cases.
