    Default House edge on blackjack switch?

    Played it a few times here in stl, I love it. You have to play 2 hands, you can switch your last two cards. Only weird things are bj pays 1/1 and the whole table pushes on 22. The game is sick, hard to lose both hands. Anyone have the edge %?

    It's a fun game but there's more of a house edge. IntegrityKid loves this f'ing game. He's lost a couple grand playing this online before I finally talked him out of it.

    The house edge is only 0.25% with perfect strategy.

    With counting, you can beat this game.

    I've played this game almost since the day came out...........ask DANTE......

    Fishhead is right - the edge for perfect basic strategy is lower than regular Blackjack. But... the strategy is much harder to learn. Most people could learn normal BJ strategy perfectly in 1-2 hours with flash cards. Switch - there are gazillions more combos. I looked at the strategy charts once, looked at the lower limits in Vegas, and said "screw it".

    House edge at online casinos is between 0.16% and 0.18% with optimal strategy.
    You could beat it offline employing card counting strategies.
    You can not beat it at online casinos though.

    Not quite correct.
    You can get a small edge offline at specific Blackjack rules using counting techniques.
    Even at online casinos there are occasionally and rarely games with a player's edge - assuming perfect play.

    More casino games are beatable than they actually realize.

    I know your just attempting to get under my skin so I can ramble on........so I will..........LMFAO.


    Most people believe SLOTS are not beatable.......they are through BONUSES and PROGRESSIVES that put the edge into the players behalf.

    Most people believe blackjack is not beatable.........with a good card counting system, it sure is.

    Most people do not believe video poker is beatable.........it sure is when playing the correct paytables and perfect strategy.

    These are just three examples.

    I've got thousands of reasons why your wrong about online casinos. I consider myself a good BJ player but the "stuff" that goes on with these online games is, well to put it mildly, is almost criminal.

    Stay out of the online casinos.

    Not talking about ONLINE casinos..........LAND BASED.

    For online casinos, the only thing I would do with them(for the most part), is chase bonus deposits, aka BONUS WHORING.

    I have reason to believe this may be one of the best odds games in existence
