I was playing blackjack in a very small casino in France recently. It was a week night and there was only one BJ table with 2 euro min and 100 euro max. The rules were: no dealer hole card, CSM-8 decks?, S-17, double anything and split any pair up to 4 times, no RSA, BJ 3-2. There was also early surrender against any dealer card, including a dealer's ace. I was wondering what the house advantage was on this game. This set of rules seems very favorable.

The Wizard has an edge calculator here:

You select a variety of rules options and it tells you the edge. Unfortunately, the Surrender options only include none or late.

Thanks. I did see the BJ odds calculator but unfortunately there is no option for early surrender.

Page 180 of "The World's Greatest Blackjack Book" says it's worth .62% in a 4 deck game.

do you mean your answer >>>Page 180 of "The World's Greatest Blackjack Book" says it's worth .62% in a 4 deck game.<<<

I saw it but it is for a 4 deck game and OP wrote it is a CSM 8 decks and this could make a difference

CSMs do not hold 8 decks. 6 is the max hence the name on it "One to Six." Even if it is 6, it won't be much lower than .62%.
