Second best odds in the house. Good game to be playing if you want to lose the least amount of money over the long term.

But as a Great Math Analyst, I'm sure you knew that. ;)
What's the first? My info is pretty clear that cardhouses lose their shirts on Blackjack. (Well, not lose lose, but comparatively it's by far the best value.) The only other thing that's even close is sports betting, and even that's a pretty far second.
The best odds in the house are on the Craps table. The
house has a 0.60/0.65% edge in four/eight deck Blackjack. The house edge behind the Pass or Don't Pass line on the craps table is exactly 0%. The initial Pass/Don't Pass bet is 1.41%/1.36%, and most casinos these days offer 4-5x odds on all points, so if you're laying your maximum allowable amount behind those lines, the total house edge ends up being lower than four or eight-deck Blackjack.

I got 9k-something last night. Had a 1024 tile, but a 2 got in my way of making another. "Don't move up" is somewhat inaccurate. Pick a corner and don't compromise it for anything.

Congrats. Don't you just love that feel when you know you have it?

The goal is actually to get 2048 with as low of a score as possible. I've only beaten it once, but I had a score of around 21100-21200, with only a 128, a 64, an 8 and some scattered twos and fours, so I doubt that I could do much better. I still try once in a while, though.

Oh. I actually think I finished between 22-23k. It let you keep going, so I wanted to see how high I could get.

Have you ever gotten a 4096 block?

Nope. I lost pretty soon after due to a dumb mistake that forced me to move up.
