We resume our article on the abc’s of Blackjack. In Part One we reviewed the concept of the game, hitting, holding with the current hand and how to double down. In part two we will discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a player is handed 2 cards of the same amount (two 8’s for instance) he may split them to make two different hands. If you choose to separate your hand you will need to lay a new wager equal to the initial bet.
Surrender: Some casinos will let players to surrender the hand they have been assigned along with half of the original bet they placed before the dealer looking at his hand. Once again it’s important to inquire with the dealer for clarification on the table rules or check the game rules section on the internet casino you are gambling on.
Insurance: When the dealers exposed card is an Ace individuals have the option to take out insurance. You will lay half of the original bet before the dealer looks at his cards; if the dealer has twenty-one you’ll come away with a win on the insurance wager but still lose the original sum. Unfortunately if the croupier doesn’t have chemin de fer the gambler loses the insurance. It is a risk but one that’s well worth it, if used as part of a smart tactic.
As soon as a gambler has stood or gone bust by going over twenty-one the croupier will reveal their hand and will continue to deal themselves cards until one of the following elements has happened: if he has surpassed 17, a dealer will not normally draw another card due to the chance of going bust, if he has drawn 21 or if they have gone bust.
