    illsur5: Spanish 21 house edge less than blackjack?

    If anyone out there has a sim please sim this.

    6 decks
    spanish deck (no 10's)
    player B.J auto win 3-2
    player 21 auto win
    ReSplit A's
    Double 2 or more cards
    double double down
    late surrender

    plus all the usual spanish 21 payoffs plus a match the dealer side bet.

    My friend told me the odds were a little better than Blackjack but im not so sure I believe him because you always start the shoe with R.C= -16.

    well you'd need to compare it to the BJ game...

    some spanish 21 games can be more favorable than some BJ games...

    still, wait for someone with the #s

    The Wizard of odds has the house edge ranging between 0.38% and 0.76% depending on rules. This is assuming that you use the correct basic strategy for Spanish 21, which is alot different than BJ BS. See link at bottom.

    Personally, I would advise that you spend the incremental effort to learn a count system instead of a different BS, but that is just me.

    Also, I believe that most count systems need to be modified for this game, given the different rules, etc. I know that some work has been done in this area.

    Finally, don't you mean to say a starting RC of -24 for a six deck game?

    Coug Fan: I didn't address the side bet

    If someone was foolish enough to try playing this without some type of count system, then they would be at more of a disadvantage (try looking around the Wizard of Odds, I believe the exact HE is on there somewhere).
