Approximately how often is a single deck in positive territory? Double deck? Six decks? By positive I actually mean the player has an edge, not just that the running count is a plus. I would assume that the rest of the time the game is slightly to greatly favoring the casino? Thanks in advance.
For each game you cite, please state specific rules. As you can understand, it's conceivable to have SD, s17, das or SD d9, ndas, and h17. The differences are enormous, as they are for shoe games with h17, ndas compared to, say, s17, das, ls, rsa.

Single Deck -- H17 -- DAS -- no surrender -- double any first two -- split any pairs
Double Deck -- same as above but also for S17
Six deck -- S17 -- DAS -- no surrender -- double any first two
split any pairs
I appreciate the time you are spending answering my question. Again, thanks in advance.
I'm using the values from BJA, Chapter 10. Suggest you also check into CVCX, Norm's genial new application, that will answer precisely questions like these.
By the way, you didn't give penetration, and that matters.
"Single Deck -- H17 -- DAS -- no surrender -- double any first two -- split any pairs": 64%.
"Double Deck -- same as above but also for S17": 31% either way.
"Six deck -- S17 -- DAS -- no surrender -- double any first two split any pairs': 27%.
"I appreciate the time you are spending answering my question. Again, thanks in advance."
You're welcome. Hope this helps.

Don, there have been times I have diagreed with you on certain things but you are a gentleman and a (true) scholar. Thanks!
