Black Jack Basics – Part 2
We carry on with our article on the essential details of twenty-one. In Part 1 we covered the approach of blackjack, hitting, standing and how to double down. In part two we’ll discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a player is dealt 2 cards of the same value (2 8’s for instance) he may separate them to generate 2 separate hands. If you choose to separate your hand you will have to place a new wager equivalent to the initial bet.
Surrender: Some casinos will let players to surrender the cards they have been handed along with half of the initial bet they placed prior to the croupier checking his hand. Keep in mind it’s vital to inquire with the croupier for clarification on the twenty-one table rules or look at the rules area on the net casino you’re playing on.
Insurance: When the dealers exposed card is an Ace competitors have the ability to purchase insurance. You’ll lay half of the initial bet prior to the croupier checking his cards; if the croupier has blackjack you will come away with a win on the insurance wager but still lose the initial amount. Sadly if the croupier doesn’t have blackjack the player loses the insurance. It’s a chance but one that is well worth it, if used as part of a clever plan.
As soon as a competitor has stayed or gone bust by exceeding twenty one the dealer will reveal his/her cards and will go on to deal himself cards until 1 of the following things has happened: if they have surpassed 17, a dealer won’t usually draw another card because of the chance of busting, if he has drawn twenty one or if he has gone bust.
