the wizzaerofodds site says that edge% benefit of these 2 rules are:
early surrender against dealers face card is 0.24%
and
early surrender against dealers ace is 0.39%
i want to determinate if the real benefit of early surrender against ace is 0.39% or if it is 0.15%(0.39%-0.24%)?

All data from http://www.beatingbonuses.com/bjstrategy.php :

No surrender: 0.46%
Late surrender: 0.38%
Early surrender vs 10: 0.22%
Full early surrender: -0.17%


Looking at the numbers, the 0.24% of "early surrender against face card" is with respect to "no surrender".
The 0.39% of "early surrender against ace" is with respect to "early surrender against face card".

The real benefit of that rule is thus 0.39%.

alvbettor:

I concur w/ Mango that the + 0.39% on the Wizard's list represents Early Surrender vs Aces (alone), as opposed to no Surrender allowed vs. Aces.

That's a big number, but the player Surrenders a lot under that rule: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bjbse.php?numdecks=6+decks&soft17=s17&dbl=all&das=yes&surr=es&peek=yes

So then, the combined player advantage of ES vs A's and ES vs 10's would be + 0.63% (0.24% + 0.39%), maybe even a hair higher if Surrender's also allowed for 16 vs 9.

Questions

1. Does anyone know of any casinos that offer Early Surrender vs A?

2. I was surprised Late Surrender's only + .08%. I would've guessed higher. Is this breakdown of Late Surrender correct: vs 10 + .07, with LS vs 9 and LS vs. A both so small that they total only + .01% together?

Thanks for your help.

I know a few casinos that still offer early surrender vs Ace but they are not in North America.
Happy days are here again

Thanks for the link, Mango.

I'm surprised late surrender's only worth + 0.08% vs HE. I'm even more surprised that surrender vs A accounts for less than 0.01% of that 0.08%.

Well, live and learn, as they say.
