We resume our article on the basics of black jack. In the preceding article we covered the basis of the game, hitting, standing and how to double down. In part 2 we will talk about splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a player is dealt 2 cards of the same value (two eights for instance) he may separate them to make two separate hands. If you decide to divide your hand you’ll have to lay a new bet equivalent to the original wager.
Surrender: Some betting houses will allow players to surrender the cards they have been handed along with half of the original bet they placed before the croupier looking at their hand. As a rule it is essential to ask the croupier for clarification on the blackjack table rules or check out the rules section on the net betting house you’re betting on.
Insurance: When the dealers exposed card is an Ace individuals have the ability to purchase insurance. You’ll place half of the original bet prior to the croupier looking at his cards; if the croupier has twenty-one you will win the insurance bet but still lose the initial bet. Sadly if the croupier doesn’t have blackjack the competitor loses the insurance. It’s a risk but one that’s absolutely worth it, if used as part of a smart scheme.
As soon as a competitor has stayed or gone bust by exceeding 21 the croupier will show his cards and will go on to deal themselves cards until 1 of the following things has appeared: if he has surpassed 17, a dealer won’t typically draw another card because of the likelihood of busting, if they have drawn twenty-one or if he has gone bust.
