Chemin de Fer Essential Basics – Part 2
We resume our article on the essential details of Blackjack. In the preceding article we covered the notion of black jack, hitting, holding with the current hand and how to double down. In part two we’ll talk about splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a gambler is assigned 2 cards of the same value (two 8’s for example) she may split them to generate 2 different hands. If you choose to separate your hand you will need to place a new wager equivalent to the initial wager.
Surrender: Some betting houses will allow individuals to surrender the cards they have been given along with fifty percent of the initial wager they placed before the croupier looking at his hand. As a rule it is important to inquire with the dealer for clarification on the chemin de fer table game rules or look at the game rules section on the online betting house you’re playing on.
Insurance: When the croupiers face up card is an Ace players have the chance to purchase insurance. You will place half of the original wager prior to the croupier looking at his cards; if the dealer has twenty-one you will win the insurance wager but still lose the original wager. Regrettably if the croupier does not have twenty-one the gambler loses the insurance. It is a chance but one that’s well worth it, if used as part of a smart tactic.
As soon as a player has stood or busted by exceeding 21 the croupier will reveal his cards and will continue to deal themselves cards until 1 of the following things has happened: if he has surpassed seventeen, a dealer won’t normally draw another card because of the likelihood of busting, if they have drawn twenty-one or if he has gone bust.
