ace can resplit up to 4
hole card
late surrender
i think the edge is around 0.3?
how to beat this game
for 10us to 500us
and table always full
always 7 boxes players
and not allowed to ride on other players bet
so i can always play my own one hand
if my bankrolls is 0.2 mil us
and i willing to play 1 kelly
how should i spread
if near tc2 i should bet max ?

This is kind of a hacky post about a game. You didn't provide other rules such as H17/S17. I assume by 'hole card' you mean it's American style where the dealer takes a hole card and checks for blackjack?
Assuming it's H17 (as most low limit 8D games are) then I'm showing a HE of: .55% (https://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/calculator/) This isn't your first post I've seen where you're asking for the house edge. Please use the Wizards FREE house edge calculator, then we don't have to waste time figuring out the games actual house edge after asking for the rest of the playing conditions.
Most importantly, you mention they cut off 3 out of the 8 decks. 62.5% PEN is pretty awful for 8D. You'd need a pretty massive spread to account for that horrible penetration, something like 1-30 or even more. You'd also need to get your max bet out around TC +3. IF you could even get away with spreading this much, which I doubt you can, then you'd need a pretty huge bankroll to sustain the massive swings. When you say your BR is .2 mil us, does that mean $200,000? If you're that well off to have that kind of a bankroll you really need to invest in professional software from Qfit or somewhere.
Overall it sounds like a waste mostly because of the shitty PEN and because you don't seem to be willing to put enough effort in to beating the game, which is well indicated by your post and others I've seen from you. Beating a game of blackjack starts away from the table with simple things like house edge calculations, bet sizing, and bankroll management.

Playing it correctly means you've already won.
