    kantarou: don, now the question on steering 5

    dear don,
    i hope you are doing good.
    thanks for your answers on my previous posting "ace ten and the bankroll"
    this time i got questions on steering 5.

    is it right to assume that all players hands have the 24% advantage when you successfully steer 5 as the dealer up card, and when you miss, the only the players hand that gets the 5 has the 19% disadvantage and rest of the players hands have the 0.5% disadvantage?

    i thank you in advance.

    thanks

    Depends on number of decks and rules. I think it may be more like 20% for multi-deck.

    More or less. The unfortunate player has that 19+% disadvantage plus the off-the-top house edge. The other players have a little less than the off-the-top disadvantage, because that 5 is now out. So, the EOR for, say, six decks is approximately +0.12, which reduces a house edge of 0.40 (s17, das) to about 0.28.

    You're welcome.
