BJedge by Stanford Wong $19.95

BJedge is a software program written to quickly find the casino’s edge to the nearest hundredth of a percent for various sets of rules. The program functions as a spread sheet, summarizing the results of dozens of large simulations I have run. You dial in the rules you want -- which dealer action on soft seventeen, any restrictions on doubling down, whether doubling is allowed after splitting, whether resplit of aces is allowed, what kind of surrender is allowed if any, etc., and the casino’s edge for one to eight decks is immediately displayed on the screen. That’s all BJedge does. It doesn’t run simulations. It doesn’t play games. BJedge is a Visual Basic program for PCs. You need Windows 3.0 or newer, but you do not need much memory or much speed.
