5. Are there people that actually profit from live casinos?
The games are beatable, although not nearly as good as B&M blackjack. The best game I've found so far has this rule set :
S17, DAS, ES10 (pretty sure COULD BE LS10 but u don't surrender much vs A in S17 anyway it doesn't make much difference between LS and LS10), resplit 4 (no RSA I think not sure doesn't come up much), DAS, DA2. They also have a quirky rule where you can surrender basic strategy splits for 20% (surrender for 20% 66 v 2, 88 v 9, 88 v T). Penetration is two decks cut off out of 8. This game also has a .3% rebate on all action, including splits and double downs, which is quite nice.
But mostly you find S17, nDAS, no resplit, ENHC games without surrender and 4/8 penetration. Still beatable through rigorous back counting and the refusal to make any negative expectation bets.
You can also get match bonuses so you are playing with house money, but then they want 50-100k in action for like $100-$400 free money or even live dealer doesn't count towards clearing the bonus.
And of course the casino could always stiff you. The wording on their bonus terms is pretty much 'we can **** you over at any time for any reason'.
