Methodology: A combinatorial program was used under all 360 possible rule variations possible. The program played each hand according to the correct basic strategy for those rules without regard to composition dependent exceptions. The expected value of split hands was determined for one hand only and multiplied by the expected number of hands the player could split to under the given rules. The house edge is based on the first hand after a shuffle. The JavaScript is by William Shackleford.
