Is there a good one online? I've tried finding all over, and there are variations all over the net. And i know for a fact a single difference might give the house an edge.

Examples i have online :

Oic, that looks good. ty

But since the table is done by pobability, how is it that we've a few versions online?

Oh btw, is it normal that one ace/ace , and if i choose to split, i can only draw one card, meaning if i get ace + two and ace + king, i'll have to live with it even tho for obvious reason, i need to draw more cards for ace + two.

Im on bet 365's casino btw.

Hoze,
It's pretty much standard across all blackjack games that you'll only get to draw one card when you split Aces.
As to difference in basic strategy, that happens because different rules and numbers of decks cause basic strategy to change.
One of the things i like about http://www.onlineblackjackguide.com is that it gives you the correct strategy card with most of the reviews of the casino and games.

RJT.

Ok, is it true that you have an edge if you play blackjack surrender? Thus its always better to play it other than the normal blackjack?

What about blackjack switch?

Also, should i play single hand or 5 hands?

The only documented online game with a players advantage is Boss Media's single deck game, where the player edge would be microscopic (basically zero). These casinos typically don't even let you earn comps when playing this game.

Blackjack surrender and switch (both playtech) have lower edges than the other blackjacks, but still a house edge (I think switch is very low, but the strategy is more complicated).

Playing multiple hands could theoretically give you some sort of on the last hand due to counting cards on the table (see "depth-charging"). This is only really significant in single deck games. However, when microgaming introduced some multihand games recently, they also increased the number of decks in use.

There's also the idea of card-counting in live dealer games online. Haven't tried it, don't think it's too popular or profitable.
