Blackjack ABC’s – Part 2
We resume our article on the abc’s of twenty-one. In Part One we reviewed the approach of the game, hitting, standing and how to double down. In part 2 we’ll discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a gambler is given two cards of the same value (2 eights for instance) he may break them up to make two separate hands. If you decide to separate your hand you will need to place a new bet equal to the original wager.
Surrender: A few betting houses will permit individuals to surrender the hand they have been given along with fifty percent of the original bet they placed before the croupier looking at their hand. As a rule it’s vital to inquire with the croupier for clarification on the chemin de fer table game rules or check the rules area on the internet casino you are gambling on.
Insurance: When the dealers exposed card is an Ace competitors have the chance to take out insurance. You’ll place half of the initial bet prior to the croupier checking his cards; if the croupier has twenty-one you’ll win the insurance bet but still lose the initial sum. Regrettably if the dealer doesn’t have chemin de fer the competitor loses the insurance. It is a chance but one that’s well worth it, if used as part of a clever tactic.
As soon as a competitor has stood or busted by exceeding twenty-one the dealer will reveal his cards and will continue to deal themselves cards until one of the following elements has happened: if he has reached 17, a dealer won’t normally take another card due to the likelihood of going bust, if he has drawn twenty-one or if he has busted.
