In fact, the blackjack players are not set out to be working against each other as in case of Poker, that is why it is not very enjoyable.
As the popularity is low, many people are not aware of the best practices of playing the game and the hard work that it takes to be professional. However, the ones that have become the best at the game, have continuously put in the effort to learn the game and practice the rules as much as possible. That is why they have achieved that kind of credibility.
