    This is just a computation error. If you correctly predict getting an ace on your next hand, you will have a 51 percent advantage of your initial bet on that hand. If you play normally without ace prediction, you will have a 0.5 percent disadvantage (using basic strategy) on that hand.

    In your example, you claim you can do ace prediction in one sixth of your hands, and not predict in five sixths of your hands. 1/6 of 51 percent advantage is 8.5 percent advantage (I prefer computing in percent in order to reduce zero digits). 5/6 of -0.5 percent is approx. -0.4 percent. In summary, this is 8.1 percent overall advantage.
