You would need a huge spread AND 70%+ penetration. Single Deck games usually shuffle after every 1-2 hands at a full/nearly full table, and 3-4 hands with only 1/2 players. Can it be done. Theoretically. In reality, the spread alone would get you backed off.

Theoretically a Martingale Progression works two. Just don't split them 10's and you can fool them LOL

I'm certainly not recommending counting in to a 6/5 game, especially when there are good Double Deck games available with HA under 0.40%.

Here are the house rules for that single deck 6-5 game, double after split, split any pair up to four times, aces only once, dealer hits soft 17.


I think this is a good question, because I think your real question is:

How To Beat Single Deck Blackjack Deck

I know that mathematically I am better off with normal rules, but the casinos will be backing off card counters. If I play a single deck game with 6-5 the casino is not looking for card counters. So if I use a large enough spread unmolested by the pit boss can I beat the game?
In general the advantages of this game:
Double After Split allowed as opposed to not allowed: 0.14%
Split permitted up to 4 hands as opposed to up to 2 hands: 0.10%
Dealer hits a soft hand as opposed to stand: -0.22%
Blackjack pays 6 to 5 as opposed to 3 to 2: -1.39%
Single deck as opposed to 8 decks: +0.48%
So the disadvantages of a 6:5 (-1.39%) is usually so large that it overshadows any advantage rules they might give you.
My guess is no with the rules given, however if you could find a single deck game with 6:5 with a few more player advantage rules (like standing on S17, drawing to split aces, surrender) it may be beatable under the assumption that you can use a large spread and the pit boss leaves you alone.

Introduction

Common questions for novice players: What is single deck blackjack? Is it better to play single deck blackjack versus multi-deck variations? To use the basic strategy, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases, an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. For specific tips, we present two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.

Blackjack Other basic strategy rules:
  • Never take insurance or 'even money.' The house edge on insurance is 5.9%, based on one deck.
  • If there is no row for splitting (fives and tens), then look up your hand as a hard total (10 or 20).
  • If you can't split because of a limit on re-splitting, then look up your hand as a hard total, except aces. In the extremely unlikely event you have a pair of aces you can't re-split and drawing to split aces is allowed, then double against a 5 or 6, otherwise hit.
