Any BlackJack Players in the house?

Using this guideguide, it tells us that the house has a 0.44 % advantage.

Ok so how does the casino get this "house advantage"? I can't figure it out.

This link is everything you need to know about blackjack. Is it really so hard to comprehend that the casinos are going to structure their games to give themselves a mathematical advantage?

So the house advantage comes from the Dealer acting last?

Read the site I linked above. The house edge comes from a complex assortment of rules. Its really not as simple a game as the casual observer would think.
