    European blackjack - advantage over the house in start?!?

    Hello!

    I have a few questions about European blackjack. The specific rules are as follows:

    • Six decks
    • Dealer stands on soft 17
    • Double On Hard/Soft 9-11
    • Player may double after a split
    • No-peek (player loses total bet, including after doubling or splitting, if dealer has blackjack)
    • Player can resplit to 4 hands
    • Player can resplit aces
    • Multiple draws after ace split
    • Blackjack pays 3:2
    • Insurance pays 2:1
    • Early surrender against 10
    • 6-card Charlie automatically pays 2 to 1
    • 777 pays 3 to 2 automatically
    • 75-80% penetration
    • 1 burn card


    1. What is the house edge with this rules?
    On this site http://blackjackit.com/blackjack-too...ge-calculator/ I have the edge 0.019% over the casino playing only basic strategy. Is this correct?
    Does it mean that I have the edge over a casino in long run playing only basic strategy with this rules? Can I make money without counting cards on long run with this rules?

    2. What is basic strategy with this rules when the dealer have an ace and player two aces? Hit or split? I think hit but on this site says split? http://www.beatingbonuses.com/bjstrategy.php What is correct answer?

    3. Effect for 6-card Charlie in blackjack rule variation is 0.16%. What is effect on rule variation when 6-card Charlie automatically pays 2 to 1? Same 0.16% or have a difference?

    4. If I have the edge over the casino in start, does it mean that I have edge on TC 0 and TC 1?
    Does it change something in bet spread?
