   Well, since the house advantage is about 51%, anything better than 49% would be good.

   I average about 60% but I don’t consider myself a professional. People who can count card (which isn’t necisarilly cheating) could get around 80% if they’re smart (losing some hands so as not to make it obvious.)

   The win rate per playing session can approach and is usually quite near 60% for a very proficient player.

   The win rate in terms of hands won is 44% for the most professional of players.

   Its interesting to note that even an advnatage blackjack player never wins more hands than he loses, the edge comes from getting payed 3:2, and being able to split and double down at very oportune moments.

   My actual real world session win rate for this year is 56.9% which is slightly under par, but variance is somethign you have to deal with.

   You need a very large sample of rounds played for your number to be anywhere near where it should, iv played evenings where i figured i won or lost as many as 70% of all the hands i played.
