Default Beating BJ with I18

I was wondering what hourly return you could expect with $100 units, also what the edge would be in SD, DD and 6D games?

It depends on the rules of the game, the penetration, your bet spread, the game speed, and many other factors. As a general rule, the EV is about 1-2 units per hour with a SD of around 30 units per hour. Don Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack has an entire chapter that lists the SD, EV and RoR for hundreds of different games and bet spreads.

The I18 adds 10% ~ 15% to your win rate.

Note that playing illustrious 18 indexes (or any indexes) by themselves, without varying bets, is still a losing game.
