Hi. I'm new to this forum. Sorry if this is a repeat thread. I have an issue with the house edge calculator on the wizard of odds website. When playing on a 4 deck csm where the dealer hits a sft17, the house edge will increase or decrease 6 percent when you toggle the "respilt aces" option. I find this extreme since this is a rare occurrence. (Other settings include, no surrender, double on first two cards and blackjack pays 3-2). Why would this option swing the odds so much?

I tried replicating what you were seeing, and, setting it as you did, toggling the resplit aces option gave a difference of ~.06% HE, not 6%. The numbers have already been corrected from decimal to percentage, so you're looking at 6 one-hundredths of a percent. I'm not a math guy, but that doesn't seem out of line to me.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

When I plug in 4D, H17, nRSA, I get a house edge on the shuffler of: .56268%

When I change it to RSA, I then get a house edge on the shuffler of: .49852%.

The RSA option carries "just over" .06% change to the house edge. This is accurately reflected in the numbers above. As Babs stated the numbers are already in % form so when you see .56 change to .49 that's not a full 6%, but .06%.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
