Using the Insurance Function:

I(T_n, T_s, N) = 2*(T_n/(T_n + T_s + N)) + 5*(T_s/(T_n + T_s + N)) - (N/(T_n + T_s + N))

Where T_n is a non-suited 10, T_s is a suited 10, and N is a non-10 card.

The Expected Value of the above assuming a 6 deck shoe is

I(54, 18, 216) = -0.0625

The EoR for the game can be computed simply by:

D(I(T_n, T_s, N), (T_n, T_s, N)) - I(T_n, T_s, N).

That is, remove a non-10, a non-suited 10, and a suited-10 will prove a simple system for determining +EV games.

I can say that it offers better EV for index play. Insurance is lower than that of the 2-1 offer at other tables.

I should caution that your IC will not be 1.00. I have a feeling it is due to the distribution of suited/non-suited 10's in the deck that will throw the count off of the mean value.

dogman_1234,

Doesn't a 6D shoe contain 24 suited and 72 unsuited X's?

Correct.

However, we will have a 15% EV for the *player*.

If this is still a mystery to anyone...I will refrain from explaining why.

No, not in the manner that such insurance game is to be hidden, it's that it is so obvious to anyone who sees it that it is much like insurance with the 2-1 payout.
