Hello everyone,
in case you didn't know, Edgeless is the first 0% edge gambling online casino based on the Ethereum blockchain
I was wondering what is the best strategy when facing thoses conditions :


0% House Edge Black Jack Rules:

House peaks for a Black Jack (like an American Black Jack)
4 decks (all decks are reshuffled after every hand)
Dealer stands on soft 17
Player can double on any first 2 cards
Player can split to 4 hands
Player can split aces
Player can hit split aces
Player can surrender and get back half of his bet
Black Jack pays 3:2
Min. bet limit: 0.2 EDG
Max. bet limit: 5 EDG

I can't get 0% using the Wizard calculator

what does the Wiz calculator say the edge is?

and I guess the casino hopes to makes $ only by player mistakes?
I guess no loyalty/tier card program?
Craps is paradise (Pair of dice). Lets hear it for the SpeedCount Mathletes :)

"and I guess the casino hopes to makes $ only by player mistakes?"
yes it's in their whitepaper


since I can't link a website here is what I put:

"Number of decks of cards used: 4
Dealer hits or stands on a soft 17: Stands
Player can double after a split: Yes
Player can double on: Any first two cards
Player can resplit to: 4 hands
Player can resplit aces: Yes
Player can hit split aces: Yes
Player loses only original bet against dealer BJ: No Yes ??????
Surrender rule: Late
Blackjack pays: 3 to 2

If I put Yes to "Player loses only original bet" I get 0.0483 edge
what did I do wrong?

I don't know exactly what EDG is but I'm guessing it's a way to sell a crypto currency. You lose as the price falls ( https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/edgeless/ ).

Yes EDG is an altcoin like BTC, ETH
it's the crypto currency itself
you lose as the price falls but you win as the price raises since it's a bull market (not as we speak)
it's gambling in gambling you could say

Well there's staking with EDG. All people who hold EDG and stake it will get part of the profit. Staking typically means you lock them into a smart contract and can't use or withdraw them for a set time period. That's the best reason to pick some up on this dip, IMO.

Perfect basic strategy with the rules/number of decks.

Playing it correctly means you've already won.
