Black Jack switch seems to have a slightly better player advantage than normal 6 or 8D BJ. Will the same Hi-Lo count work, even though BJ pays even etc.? If not, what count should one use? I know that the basic strategy has changed slightly. The side bet is a sucker-but will that have any advantage at very high or low counts? Thanks for any advice
BJ SWITCH has a tiny edge of approx. -.20
No, You cannot use Hi-Lo effectively.
The Basic Strategy is VERY different
If the game is NOT dealt from a C.S.M. it is a great game,
but you must study it.
