Hey guys! This is my first post on the forum and I recently got into playing blackjack on Bovada. There are multiple different options including single-deck, double-deck, and standard. I was wondering if any of you knew which one of these has the lowest house edge. Also, if anyone happens to have a strategy chart for this particular type, I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe the lowest house edge is the double deck game.

If you are counting, single and double deck are a lower edge because the cards on the table have a larger effect from their removal. However, there is no 'shoe' on Bovada, i.e. the cards are 'shuffled' between each hand. Therefore, the counting benefits are insufficient to overcome the house edge and the game should only be played for fun.

Bovada will occasionally have promos like $10 casino free play, which must be played through x100 to be redeemed. 1 and 2 deck blackjack do not count towards this, but regular blackjack is one of the better options for cashing on these.
