Am posting for a friend who does not have access, but is a fairly serious money player. He found a game and would like to know ASAP (i.e., while he's still on the gambling trip) is this game in the players favor or not, and by what percentage?
Here are as many details as I can remember:
-Black Jack pays even money;
-You can double on anything and anytime, including more than two cards (i.e., you can double after you've taken a couple of hits;
-You can split up to 3 times and play each hand (you can also play/hit) after splitting aces;
-5 cards and under 21 pays 2-1;
-All cards dealt face up except for dealers hole card;
-You can surrender at any time, even & including after you play your hand (i.e., after you've taken some hits), (assuming you haven't busted);
-Single deck, 1 person 5 hands, 2 people 4 hands, 3 people 3 hands, 4 people 2 hands, 5 people 1 hand before reshuffling;
Any input and feedback on percentages would be much appreciated. If possible, please reply via e-mail. Thanks much,
