Black Jack Basics – Part Two
We carry on with our article on the abc’s of Blackjack. In the preceding article we reviewed the notion of blackjack, hitting, standing and how to double down. In part 2 we will talk about splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a gambler is handed two cards of the same value (two 8’s for example) he may split them to make two separate hands. If you choose to split your hand you will need to make a new bet equal to the original wager.
Surrender: A few betting houses will allow players to surrender the cards they have been handed along with fifty percent of the original wager they made prior to the dealer checking his hand. Once again it is important to inquire with the dealer for clarification on the blackjack table rules or check out the rules section on the net casino you are wagering on.
Insurance: When the croupiers face up card is an Ace competitors have the option to purchase insurance. You’ll lay half of the original bet before the croupier looks at his cards; if the dealer has blackjack you will win the insurance bet but still lose the initial bet. Regrettably if the croupier does not have blackjack the competitor loses the insurance. It’s a risk but one that’s absolutely worth it, if used as part of a clever scheme.
As soon as a gambler has stayed or gone bust by going over twenty-one the croupier will show his/her cards and will go on to deal themselves cards until one of the following events has appeared: if he has reached seventeen, a croupier will not typically take another card due to the likelihood of busting, if he has drawn 21 or if he has gone bust.
