When To Take Insurance In Blackjack, Using The KO System W/ 6 Decks?
Question by odysseyxltd | Posted in Card Games
I know in a 1-deck system, where the initial count is 0, you would normally take insurance on a dealer showing ace if the count is +3 or higher. However since casinoes mostly use 6 decks, and the initial count is -20, what is the key count for taking insurance?
Answer: As far as I'm concerned, there is only 1 situation in which to take insurance....and that is if you have a blackjack yourself....guaranteed even money return.
Many casinos are moving to not only using 6 or 8 decks, but to constant shuffling machines to negate any card counting.
Can Someone Explain Insurance In Blackjack To Me Please?
Question by Alex G | Posted in Gambling
With details please. When do you take insurance? Should you at all? Apparently, if you're not counting cards, you should never take it.
Thanks
Answer: Insurance is a side bet offered when the dealer's up card is an Ace. You can risk an amount of up to half of your original bet. This is a bet that the dealer HAS a blackjack. If the dealer does, then you will win the insurance wager at a payout of 2 to 1. If you risked the maximum amount, you would win an amount equal to your original wager, thus the term 'insurance'.
When should you take insurance? Only if you are risking an amount that is way above what you are normally comfortable with. If you never take insurance, then you will be further ahead than if you always take it.
Some say that they would take the insurance if they have a blackjack, 20, or a 19. Some others would say taking insurance at all is nothing but a sucker bet. Do you benefit your hand by taking the insurance?
Answer: Do not take the insurance. Even if you have blackjack, don't take it.
It's all about odds. Odds are that the dealer doesn't have a face card. Do you think the casino would offer it if they didn't have the advantage?
I am under the impression that if im betting 10 bucks and dealer is showing an ace, then I place 5 more bucks down and if dealer hits bj then i take all my money back, and if he doesnt then he takes the 5 and play continues. Right? Sorry about the poor english, I rushed through this.
Answer: Yes, you are correct.
It says "Insurance pays 2 to 1" right on the table. You make a $5 insurance bet. If the dealer does not have a 21, then you lose the $5 insurance bet. If the dealer has blackjack, then you lose your original $10, but you win $10 on the insurance bet.
In The Casino Game 'Blackjack' What Are The Rules Of Insurance?
Question by musicmaniaytab | Posted in Gambling
I know the general rules but i want to know more. Does the banker turn his cards face upwards to reveal if he has blackjack or not? What happens to people who dont take insurance but know from other players that the banker has blackjack?
Answer: When the dealer has an ace for an up card he asks the players if they want insurance.
Players who want insurance will normally place an additional bet equal to half their original bet on the insurance line. The one exception to that is when a player has a blackjack in his own hand, in which case he may simply tell the dealer "even money" and the delaer will pay him his original bet and collect his cards. Players who do not want insurance simply indicate they do not want it by saying "no", shaking their head, or waving their had in the same signal use to indicate you want to stay instead of hit.
