Best EV blackjack online?
 
Sometimes If I've got 20 minutes to kill I like to play BJ for a few bucks a hand, just for the hell of it. What's a site with an extremely low house-edge BJ? Yes, I realise it's -EV.

I figure it'll be a game that has surrender and allows re-splitting etc.

Well if u play basic strategy u will run abouyt 48% BUT MAKE SURE u hopefully can find a place where the house does not win a tie!! for crying out loud.. some casinos "steal" people's money in this situation. Then ur really in for a sure loser of a game.

Better pick up hold'em and play big multi's at rake sites and cash games at no rake sites.

The best of the best online would be Classic Blackjack found at Microgaming casinos. Single deck and almost all the favorable rules. House edge of 0.13% with optimal strategy.

Microgaming is non-US, right? Any advice for US players?

zero edge Blackjack. Is that even possible? The edge is due to the fact that the play draws first and has a chance to bust without the dealer even turning a card...how do you get rid of that edge? Do you take turns drawling first?

The edge has to do with all the rules such as dealer stands soft 17, blackjack pays 3:2, 5 card charlie, etc.

+ There is this Poker game (was it Texas Hold Em shootout) which virtually has a 0% HE with correct strategy.
