I was doing some theorycrafting on what the house edge would look like for Blackjack with different game rules.
A lot of the calculators I came across only took into account a max of 8 decks and no more than 4 splits.
How would I be able to calculate the house edge using these game rules:

- Infinite decks
- Infinite splitting
- Double after split
- Aces one card after split
- Surrender option available
- Insurance pays 2:1
- Dealer stands on 17
- Player loses original bet only vs Blackjack

I don't think there's an "easy" way to calculate the difference between "dealer stands on all 17s" and "dealer hits soft 17", since each results in a different set of probabilities of what the dealer will have for any particular up card.
