BJ switch

Anybody knows how to find basic startegy for BJ switch?
And which is house edge?

It is very simplified Basic

Have you used the feature on the site that figures out if your cards should be switched? Do you think it is wrong?

Not sure what you mean by 'Basic Strategy' but The Wizard of odds offers a very good guide to the game.
At present the edge (for perfect 'switching') is 0.18% for the 8-deck game and 0.05% for the Internet version.
Russia has the best version as it includes early surrender.

The BJ Switch calculator, produced by Jing Ding, seems to be fairly accurate although I'm not sure how the results are obtained.

The Wiz's 'switch' strategy uses an infinite deck assumption so is slightly off on the very close 'switch' decisions. Using The Wiz's 'switch' table will only add about 0.03% to the house edge compared to the exact 'switches'.

Can you give an example of one of the close switch decisions that the wiz of odds does not correctly calculate?

SlingoPro

I don't know many of the examples, at hand, although I think there are just 38 differences out of the 10,350 decisions.

One example is :-

1st hand - 8,8 2nd hand - 2,6 Verses Dealer 6

The Wiz's table says to 'Not Switch', our file says that it is a 'Switch'.

Furthermore, The Wiz's table agrees with our file, on the above 2 hands, verses the other dealer updards, which states that this is a 'Switch' for every dealer upcard except a 7.
