Double, split ace.

Does anyone know, what advantage has the game, that can double SS split after one card.
That is, each split ace, will be four times, two each ace.

Unable to resplt.
And no hole card /

English please.

I find that allowing doubling down on each ace after splitting aces in a no hole card game decreases the house edge by 0.0018. So, if the house edge without the rule was 0.0062, then the house edge with the rule would be 0.0044.

I still don't get why the house strongly disallows re-splitting of Aces(other than Sp 21) or even taking another card when those dreaded low duds come out for a soft 12-18. They're basically admitting they don't want you to win more money with a pair of aces in BJ by limiting your action.

Is it THAT much of a player edge to re-split & hit on Ace handss? Or are they afraid the players will pull too many cards causing confusion and possibly a misdeal or cheating?

I'm sure there are reg. BJ games that allow it, but where I'm at, it only exists in Sp 21 and that is because the 10's are taken out.

I find that in a regular blackjack shoe game, allowing hitting, doubling, and resplitting aces would decrease the house edge by 0.0026. Although this is a big decrease, the house would still have an edge.

(By the way, in the OP's game, the player may double down a split ace even before getting a card on the ace.)

That's what I want to know.
the player may double down a split ace only before getting a card on the ace.

???

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Do you mean, when you split, you can "split for double"? That is, if you have two aces with a $100 bet, and you can put out an extra $300 (to split to two hands of $200 each) and then get one card only to each ace?

Where did you find this rule?

Yes exactly.

I have no idea what that's worth. It sounds pretty good, since you are doubling down on an 11. Is there actually a game with this rule somewhere? I've never heard of it.

If it's offered somewhere, you should ask the Wizard to add it to his list of blackjack rule variants (which includes values for those rules)
