Twenty-One Basics – Part 2

We carry on with our article on the abc’s of Blackjack. In Part One we reviewed the notion of the game, taking another card, holding with the current hand and how to double down. In part 2 we will discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.

Split: if a player is handed 2 cards of the same value (two eights for example) she may break them up to generate two separate hands. If you choose to separate your hand you will need to place a new bet equal to the original wager.

Surrender: A few casinos will permit players to surrender the hand they have been given along with fifty percent of the initial bet they placed before the croupier looking at their hand. Keep in mind it is essential to ask the croupier for clarification on the twenty-one table game rules or check out the game rules area on the net betting house you are betting on.

Insurance: When the dealers face up card is an Ace competitors have the ability to take out insurance. You will lay half of the initial wager prior to the dealer checking his cards; if the croupier has twenty-one you’ll come away with a win on the insurance bet but still lose the original bet. Unfortunately if the croupier does not have black jack the gambler loses the insurance. It is a chance but one that’s absolutely worth it, if used as part of a clever plan.

As soon as a gambler has stayed or busted by exceeding twenty-one the croupier will show their cards and will go on to deal himself cards until one of the following events has happened: if they have achieved 17, a croupier will not normally take another card due to the possibility of busting, if they have drawn twenty-one or if he has gone bust.
