Just wondering if Surrender of any number of cards that total Hard 16 gains more than Basic Strategy Surrender.
Anyone checked this?

The Red Sox won 8-in-a-row to win a World Series. Thats an Octopus, too.
No Octopus seen in Fenway, however...

According to Wizard, surrender against a dealer Ten is worth about +0.07%, so surrender of any number of cards 16 should gains about 0.07%, because 2-card and multiple card 16 hands are half half.

that looks almost too good... <EDIT>
Might be ok to say that for the given rules in the House Edge Calculator to double the effect.

I believe these components are negligible. Not so sure.
