House edge under strange circumstances

[JohnCrover]

Hello, I have a purely theoretical question:
What would the house edge be if doubles and splits weren't paid but the player did not deviate from basic strategy?
Example: 11 Vs 6 for $100. Player doubles for $100, wins the hand. The player is only paid $100.
Example 2: 11 Vs 6 for $100. Player doubles for $100, losses the hand but only $100 is collected (not the full $200).
Just wondering what the house edge would be under these circumstances. Thank you.

Just a question before I try to answer: If you don't get paid double, why would you double and give up your opportunity to tak emore than one card?

According to Peter Griffin, p. 19 of The Theory of Blackjack, proper doubling is worth 1.6% and pair splitting is worth 0.4%. So, together, 2.0%.
