It depends on their assumptions for "zero-edge". They probably reshuffle every hand. If they expect perfect basic strategy, then maybe they're assuming total-dependent BS. So using a composition-dependent BS might eke out the smallest advantage. But if they're using multideck shoes, then it would be nearly immeasurable.

Better off whoring the casino bonuses.

if it wasnt illegal to gamble online, i would play that game all day long, especially if they had $5 or less table minimum with CDS like rhino said.. i heard that they can confiscate the money on your account if it is found out your playing illegally

I think it's a multi-deck game with a very slight HA.

I don't think it can be exploited in the long-run. But certainly an excellent candidate for increasing longevity using voo-doo betting systems.

Make sure you use the right multi-card strategy for various totals so you take full advantage of the 5-card 21 rule.
