Ok so house edge is basicallynthe profits the house pulls in. But I wonder...
Due to the nature of people and gambling do you still think people will lose more then win and the casino will still make money ? Do you think people will keep being greedy till everything is lost or do you think it will be equal to both player and house ?

That's the wrong way of thinking about it.  That's how a player would think.  The banker/house always thinks of the long run however slight of an edge they have.  They know in the long run they always win regardless of the variance and the short term results.  If you take away the edge and have it at 50/50 then it's an even game in the long run.  Now why would you operate as a casino with those odds.  You lose in the long run as you have to make money to keep the casino going.

Depends on luck really. If there is no house edge, each side has a 50-50 chance of winning. When the house edge is exactly 0, it's no more a game of chance but a game of luck Smiley

And people will of course lose if they are driven by greed and if they dream of bankrupting the house with a very small bankroll. But, this is still possible(rare though!).

So basically, with no house edge, Anyone can win in the long term. It all depends upon luck Wink

Edit: There was a mistake. There would be a breakeven. No profit no loss at the end.
