Without counting (which is not possible with this version since there is no shoe or deck to count from), optimal (basic) strategy will guarantee a loss in the long run. If there was a basic strategy which guaranteed profit for the player, no casino would offer this game.

With the set of rules implemented here, including early surrender and double after split, it seems perfect basic strategy, even without counting, gives a very minimal edge to the player.

Also, this version lets you count cards, since it uses a single deck and displays shuffles.

The perfect strategy is called "being the house"
