Is Gambling getting you into DEBT?
YOU NEED HELP !
How about Insurance ?
At some casinos, if the Dealer's "up" card is an Ace, you will be offered "Insurance"
This means that you make a bet of 50% of your original bet on the Dealer having a Blackjack.
If the Dealer has a Blackjack, your original hand loses, but your "Insurance" bet pays out at 2:1. As the stake on the Insurance bet was 50% of your original bet, the bets cancel each other out, and you break even.
Weel, only tourists take Insurance bets.
The Dealer has an Ace ... "Oh No !!!" ... they all think ... "I must take the Insurance bet"
Well, addicted gamblers ... my advice is ... DON'T !
If the Dealer has a Blackjack, you only break even. If not, you lose the Insurance bet, and might still lose your original hand as well !
So don't start playing the Dealer's hand.
Remember - there are more cards that will NOT give the Dealer a Blackjack (9), than cards that will (4).
Refuse the Insurance bet, and play your own hand strongly (see below).
Now ... GO AND WIN SOME MONEY !
