Math question: house edge if only aces can be split

**P@u1** · 28th December 2009, 11:03 PM

Hi,

can any1 tell me how the house edge changes for blackjack if you can only split aces (only 1 card after this), and other same cards can never be split?
edit: i am not 100% if this is the right forum section, but I didnt find a better one for it^^

sry, but this doesent help, I want to have a value for splitting only allowed for aces, so for example if you got two 8's you cant split.

The first question that crossed my mind was:
Where the hell are you playing that they only allow you to split aces?

I want to know so I can remember to NEVER play there.

What kind of cockeyed BJ is this? I've never heard of such a thing, I am sure it is not very player-friendly. Is there a progressive pot or something to even things out for the player? Maybe BJ pays 4:1 or such?

What about doubling down, etc? Can you provide a link to the rules and the number of decks?

It is just theory, but I need to know it. Sry, but I'm not going to tell you, why.
Would be very nice if some math genious can help me anyway

Big thanks in advance!

You will turn off a lot of people in this forum if you aren't going to be forward with such an oddball question...

I don't mean to be rude, but if you are going to ask people such a weird question, let them know why - it makes perfect sense for people to ponder your motives when you ask such an ill-sensed question.
