advantage on aces?

Does anyone know the advantage that would be gained over the house if you could track the position say of one ace and then be able to bet on it? I can't find it in the literature nor work it out. Being lazy does help in the first case and not having the required math knowledge compounds the second.

You have about a 52% advantage knowing Ace is coming

Bet the most that you can.

6 Deck Tracking

Yes, the advantage of the Ace is about the same in 6D which answers the question as to why there is an advantage to tracking Aces in a 6-Deck game.

However, the definition of 'Tracking' is important. If you know that there is 2 extra Aces in a particualr 'Slug' of cards, consisting of, say, 1 deck, then this is not that beneficial. However, if you know that the next 1 or 2 cards is going to be an Ace then this is highly profitable. The problem is finding a game that allows you to even track Aces to this degree - most of them have died out.

Best regards

note, the advantage

is not if you just know that it's comming...but you have to KNOW that it will land on your hand. If the dealer has a shot at getting it you don't have a 52% edge since the dealer has a double digit edge against you if he gets it.
