We resume our article on the basics of Blackjack. In the last article we reviewed the notion of the game, hitting, standing and how to double down. In part two we will talk about splitting, surrendering and insurance.

Split: if a player is assigned 2 cards of the same value (2 eights for instance) the player may separate them to generate two different hands. If you decide to separate your hand you will have to lay a new wager equivalent to the initial bet.

Surrender: A few betting houses will let gamblers to surrender the hand they have been handed along with half of the original wager they placed prior to the croupier checking their hand. Once again it is important to ask the croupier for clarification on the twenty-one table rules or look at the game rules area on the web casino you’re wagering on.

Insurance: When the croupiers face up card is an Ace individuals have the ability to purchase insurance. You will place half of the initial wager before the croupier checks his cards; if the croupier has blackjack you’ll win the insurance wager but still lose the initial bet. Unfortunately if the croupier does not have chemin de fer the player loses the insurance. It’s a chance but one that’s absolutely worth it, if used as part of a clever scheme.

Once a player has stayed or busted by going over twenty-one the dealer will reveal their cards and will continue to deal themselves cards until one of the following things has appeared: if he has surpassed seventeen, a dealer won’t typically draw another card due to the likelihood of going bust, if they have drawn 21 or if he has gone bust.
