    There is a great piece of software (CVCX blackjack simulator) that can be used to compare various counting opportunities that will tell you which is the best or most profitable. You will want to solve for hourly rate, but also for ROR and STD DEV as well. If you want to lower your downside risk, just reduce your bet size. Assuming the rules are the same across all games, then the next question is the penetration. Fewer decks are usually better, but that is not always the case. Even if the penetration is "better" in terms of percentages for a six or eight deck game the four deck might still be a better opportunity, but the best way to know for sure is to use a blackjack simulator.

    I can't lower the bet size as 10 is the smallest I would be able to bet.

    I assume the 4D would be the best, I was wondering though if I should play the 6/8D game when I play live for the first time to lower volatility while learning bankroll management/betting, comportment/acting and all the other non-technical aspects that also need to be mastered.
