Dear Petrofos,

The KO narrowly edges out the High Low in 6 deck games. Here are betting and playing efficiencies as reported by John May in Get The Edge in Blackjack.

High Low – Play (0.51), betting (0.97) and Insurance (0.76)

KO - Play 0.54), betting 0.98), and Insurance 0.78).

Dear Petrofos,

The best single deck game is at the Horseshoe casino. The best double deck games ($25 or less minimum bets) are at the Bellagio, Mirage, Bally’s, Frontier, Hyatt Lake Las Vegas, Las Vegas Hilton, Monte Carlo, Riviera, Stardust, and Treasure Island.

Could you explication it more clearly.
Thank you !!

Dear Taipei,

Normally in multiple deck games where the dealers must stand on soft 17 you would double down on 11 only when the dealer shows a 10 or less upcard. Against the dealer’s ace you would hit. However, in games where the dealer must hit soft 17, the dealer is less likely to end up with a 17 and more likely to bust. Therefore against the dealer’s ace you are better off doubling on 11 and rather than hitting.
