What would be the added (I'm assuming) player advantage if one extra ace was added to a six-deck shoe of blackjack? How about two or even six?
Assume RSA, split to 4 hands, one card on split aces, DAS (not aces), BJ pays 3:2.

Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

An Ace has an EoR of about .6% so if you add one you can about .6% divided by the number of decks. In six deck it's about .1%

So adding one ace per deck would basically wipe out the house advantage. Interesting. Thanks.

Well, yeah, that's sort of the point of card counting.

I realize that. Just didn't know one extra ace was all it took.

That's why a TC of +1 is about break-even in most games.
TC = +1 means one extra ace or 10 per deck.
