    Frank: Unlimited Splitting

    I have calculated the house edge in Blackjack for the 6-deck game with dealer hitting soft seventeen, double after split, split non ace pairs 3x4, split aces 3x4 and late surrender at .461%. What effect does unlimited splitting of non ace pairs and unlimited splitting of aces have upon the house edge?

    The casino offering the option claims that it shaves .05% off the edge. I believe it is .00005 expressed as a decimal or .005%.

    Why do feel this question is important? Just curious.

    I would like to know where I stand from the outset with respect to disadvantage prior to the commencement of play. None of the BJ calcualtors that I've used calculate the affect of unlimited splits.

    After the third split, the feature is virtually worthless. It isn't remotely near .05%.
