Quote: only1choiceI came across this (BJ) game recently. A quick search of available calculators does not include some of these rules. If someone could give me the house edge I would appreciate it. The rules :
6/5
Enough said, right then and there.
Find 3/2 or else play craps.

It's good to see you posting again, only1choice. Figuring the house edge for this is beyond my capabilities but I had to welcome you back.
I did tinker with the Wizard's calculator, as you probably did, entering the rules minus the doubling of more than two cards and not accounting for the sevens payout. That got a house edge of 1.52206%. I know that doubling on any number of cards is worth 0.23% to the player and that 3 sevens occurs 1 in 2477 in a six deck game according to the Wizard. What I don't know is if the 0.23% and the 1 in 2477 would apply to single deck.
What I definitely know is that you wanted the house edge and that you were not asking if this was a game worth playing as someone with your experience knows that answer. Anyway, it's good to see you back after over two years. A lot has changed here, some for the better and some not.

OP said it's single deck game. The chance of player 3 sevens is smaller. And it doesn't reduce the HE much.

At 60 hands per hour those three 7s aren't going to appear for at least 50, and possibly many more, hours. That can't put much of a dent in the house edge. Can we get an fairly accurate edge by subtracting 0.23 from the 1.52206%? That still doesn't jibe with the fact that 6:5 adds 1.39% to a single deck house edge. Interesting thread.
