DrOakland: Doubling on split aces is worth?

[DrOakland]

Hello, been a long time away from BJ...
I found an online casino that not only allows hits on split Aces, but allows doubling on them as well. (i.e., casino allows double after splits at all times) My question is, on a four deck shoe, how much is this worth over and above the 0.14 value (BJ Formula) for allowing hits on split aces?

According to Wong's "Basic BJ," an additional 0.1%. Of course, this is not for the counter, who stands to gain even more.

Thanks Don. So apparently I've found an online casino where the house edge is about 0.133. Four decks (per their info), dealer stand on all 17s, double after split, including split aces. However, does not allow resplits of any pairs. I subtracted .033 for that, per BJ formula. (Instead of resplitting Aces, you can double down on soft 12 LOL)

Of course, counting can't help when the shoe is reshuffled every hand, as I assume it is.

Has anyone found a smaller house edge than 0.133?

Hmmm, I'm now thinking that figure must be way too high. Soft doubling is normally worth about 0.1%, right? (BJ Formula) Soft doubling opportunities on split Aces occur so rarely, so couldn't be worth the same value (?)
