For any other pays, I will let you do that math for yourself. I will present two different formulas to get the house advantage.

Key:
F = Fair odds (on "to one" basis)
A = Actual odds (on "to one" basis)
P = Probability of winning

  • Method 1 — 1 - (A+1)×P
  • Method 2 — (F-A)/(F+1)

Note that method 2 doesn't require knowing P explicitly.

Let's look at the case of a winning Player total of 9, for example. In this case the variables equal:

Key:
F = 7.153009
A = 6
P = 0.122654

  • Method 1 — 1 - (6+1)×0.122654 = 14.14%
  • Method 2 — (7.153009-6)/(7.153009+1) = 14.14%
