Absolutely, playing blackjack without a solid grasp of basic strategy can significantly increase the house edge and impact your overall chances of winning. It's essential to familiarize yourself with the correct plays for every possible hand you might encounter during a game to optimize your odds of success. Additionally, deviating from basic strategy by making decisions based on gut feelings, superstitions, or hunches rather than statistical probabilities can also lead to suboptimal results and financial losses in the long run.
