Blackjack, two gamblers on one box
Sorry if this topic has already been brought up. If so, please provide a link to it.
The question is. If by agreement we two play different bets on one box, and the casino lets one of us do the surender or even money, while the other can hit. In total together, can we get an advantage?

No. One of you is making the correct play and the other one is making the incorrect play. You do not gain an advantage by having one of you make a non optimal play.
Even if it’s true, it’s gotta be a negligible effect especially factoring in the low frequency of 88 v 10Quote: acesideEliot has mentioned that in some split for less situations, we may gain a little edge, For example, player 8,8 vs 10.

The larger the spread between the initial bettor and the back bettor can increase the edge.

Split for less? I’ve never seen that. What casino allows you to split for less? Or is just that I haven’t played blackjack in quite a while..
Even if….. that’s not what the OP asked. He was asking about surrender.

In some casinos overseas they allow back betting . The seated player controls the spot usually. ( some places the biggest bettor controls it) So the $ 5 player splits 8,8 vs 10 the big bettor doesn’t want to split so he plays one hand with now a starting total of 8, which is much better than starting with a total of 16. There are other similar scenarios.
Though I don’t understand why someone would want to

I’ve played overseas with back betting allowed. The larger bettor controlled the action. There were no separate actions. Of course I haven’t played everywhere. But I now understand the concept, I just find it hard to believe a casino would allow it.
