yeah, the only way to beat those games is to absolutely pound the felt when the deck is favorable, although that's the easiest way to get marked a counter and politely comped a dinner at a restaurant away from the hotel, for good. The variance is awful, though - it's truly a long-run plan, a la the famed MIT Blackjack Team (who had a 7-figure bankroll and 10-15 players to get the number of hands high enough).

If you're playing low or moderate and want to keep the variance low, BJ Switch is by far the best option.
