Blackjack is intentionally absent as one number
Blackjack edge is too dependent on rules and strategy to responsibly list as a single universal figure. Use the rule-impact and strategy pages instead.
Version discipline
When a paytable or rule changes, the relevant reference should be updated rather than silently retaining a stale number.
Expected loss
To convert edge into theoretical expected dollars, multiply total wagering action by the house edge as a decimal.
