The aim of blackjack is to have cards whose total
is as close as possible to 21.
You must know your betting options in online blackjack.
This knowledge will safely help you cross every hurdle
in the game.
Even Money: Suppose you are dealt a blackjack
and the showing card of the dealer is an Ace. You can
now cash in on your bet immediately at a 1:1 payout
ratio.
Insurance: It is allowed only when the showing
card of the dealer is an ace. Suppose that the dealer
has a 10 face down and makes a blackjack. In this case,
insurance will pay you at an odd of 2-1. But this stands
cancelled if the dealer does not make a blackjack.
Split Hand: Play the initial two-card hand
separately by splitting them into two. It is allowed
when the first two cards are valued equally. Consider
each of the two cards as a separate hand.
Double Down: double your initial bet following
the initial two-card deal. However, you are allowed
to hit one card only. Double down is a good bet if
you are in a strong situation.
Surrender: By surrendering, you give up your
cards and lose half the bet money.
Early Surrender: It is surrendering before
the dealer checks for blackjack.
Late Surrender: It is surrendering after
the dealer checks for blackjack.
Soft Hand: A soft hand is a hand where the
ace is valued as 11.
Hard Hand: A hard hand is a hand with an
ace whose value is 1 or without an Ace. This hand can
be given only one value.
