We carry on with our article on the basics of Blackjack. In Part 1 we reviewed the notion of the game, taking another card, standing and how to double down. In part 2 we will discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a player is given two cards of the same amount (two 8’s as an example) she may separate them to create two separate hands. If you decide to split your hand you’ll need to make a new wager equal to the initial wager.
Surrender: Some casinos will permit gamblers to surrender the hand they have been handed along with fifty percent of the initial bet they made prior to the croupier checking his hand. As a rule it is essential to inquire with the croupier for clarification on the chemin de fer table game rules or check the game rules section on the net betting house you’re playing on.
Insurance: When the dealers face up card is an Ace individuals have the chance to take out insurance. You’ll lay half of the initial wager before the dealer checks his cards; if the croupier has black jack you’ll win the insurance bet but still lose the initial amount. Unfortunately if the croupier does not have blackjack the player loses the insurance. It’s a chance but one that’s absolutely worth it, if used as part of a smart strategy.
As soon as a gambler has stood or gone bust by going over 21 the dealer will reveal his or her cards and will continue to deal themselves cards until 1 of the following elements has happened: if he has surpassed seventeen, a croupier will not typically draw another card because of the likelihood of going bust, if they have drawn 21 or if they have busted.
