They be can equal in pros and cons depending on your location and what part of Blackjack interests you, whether you get a rush from beating the dealer, or would rather relax at home generally talking to new people world wide while playing a fun game of Blackjack. In the end it comes down to personal preference, but for practicing and honing your skills it seems that the trend is leaning towards online Blackjack for its convenience and flexibility.
