Edge for 9 and 8?

I know that when an Ace or a Ten is dealt to your hand, it gives you an expected profit of about 52% and 13% respectively.

However, does anyone know what the expected profit from having a 9 or an 8 dealt to your hand is? I remember reading somewhere that they gave you a reasonable edge but can't remember the figures nor where I found the article.

Thanks in advance,

Percy

They both have negative ev's, the 9 is at about -1% and 8 is at about -9% (the exact ev depends on the number of decks and rules)
