So the confusion sets in re: insuring a blackjack. The dealer tries to educate me that I should not insure the blackjack and that I should take 'even money', otherwise I'll come out behind on that hand. I try to explain that my insurance is the same thing as 'even money'. During your blackjack sessions, you’ll be faced with a decision of taking the even money on your blackjack when the dealer is showing an Ace. Taking the even money guarantees that you will get some sort of payout for your blackjack, while not taking the even money can result in a push with the dealer.

I understand that taking insurance is a sucker bet, and I totally understand that on a 3:2 blackjack payout taking even money favors the house. However, I just got back from Vegas and most tables on the strip that accommodated low-rollers like me were 6:5 payouts. I'm not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination, but when I crunch the numbers it sure seems like taking even money on these tables actually favors the player. Please correct me or help me or talk me through this. Am I correct?

Casino Bonus Codes – Do blackjack should you take even money I need them? These days most online casinos are quite sophisticated and there’s no longer a need for casino bonus codes. In the past, many online casinos required the player to enter a bonus code in order to receive a deposit bonus. Jan 17, 2016  If you decline even money, then you would win nine hands, and with 6-5 payoffs each win would be worth $12. So per 13 hands with a blackjack against an dealer’s ace, you would win $120. Most casinos don’t offer even money on 6-5 blackjack games, but if offered, you should take it. With 3-2 payoffs, of course, the better play for non-card.

You're not allowed even money on a 6:5 game. But you are correct, if offered it, take it!

How slots machines are programmed. Jan 05, 2015  There are several ways of doing it, depending what regulatory jurisdiction covers them. There are 'Class 2' games that deliver a fixed and predetermined series of outcomes in random order, and there are 'Class 3' games that are completely random a. HOW TO WIN AT SLOTS. Slot machines are games with odds based in math, just like all other casino games. But few players understand just how those odds work, and whether they can do anything to improve their odds. Here are a few basics: Slots machine results are as random as humans can program a computer to be.

16 gb ram stick. There would be no available slot on the board to add ram evn if the CPU can handle more.Hope this clarifies the designation and ram upgrade queries you have for the model.Regards. I get it now, but the model naming convention is confusing imo. To recap:- The Yoga 720-13IKBR is referred to on your support pages as the 'Yoga 720-13IKB model 81C3' (this is the confusing part, because I was looking for the 'Yoga 720-13IKBR' and couldn't find it there)- The Yoga 720-13IKB and Yoga 720-13IKBR both have the same system board and general specs, except the KBR has the new Kaby Lake Refresh CPU.


I never realized that until just now. Obviously it makes sense since even money is just insurance but it never dawned on me.

I was once offered even money on a 1:1 game - naturally I took it. So there's no harm in asking.
edit before anyone squeals I checked with the manager afterwards, it was one of their un-advertised perks.

Some even-money Blackjack games have a policy of 'autowin even money' - in return for the reduced payout, a player's BJ automatically wins. Depends on the variant.

I have a question about taking even money also (while card counting).
Say you were playing blackjack and were sitting at first base. You see the next card that is going to be dealt out is an ace before you place your bet. Knowing this is an advantageous situation you put a $500 bet out even though the count is neutral or slightly negative. You get a Blackjack but the dealer is showing an Ace.
In this circumstance would you take even money because of the extraordinary circumstance, or would you wave off insurance knowing that in the long run you will make more money not taking insurance especially when the count does not warrant it?
*Also assume you are a fairly low stakes player with your usual max bet being $100.

I've had this situation. Table maxed the bet. I did NOT take insurance. Dealer didn't have a blackjack.
Now that's just me. Should you take it? No. But obviously under some circumstances, others will take it.

General: Insurance is a good play if the probability of a dealer natural exceeds the cost of insurance divided by the payout.
In most cases ('Insurance pays 2 to 1'), that means it's a good bet when the probability of blackjack exceeds 50%. (My scribbles say higher than TC+2.5, although this is probably wrong.)
In the case of 'even money' on a 6:5 table, that means it's a good bet when the probability of blackjack exceeds 20%. (My scribbles say higher than TC-1.4, although this is probably wrong.)
Insurance is Moneyalways a good bet if you

know the dealer has a blackjack. (Probability=1)
Insurance is never a good bet if you know the dealer does not have a blackjack. (Probability=0)
May the cards fall in your favor.

Are you getting $500 Ace coupons or something?

Should You Take Even Money At Blackjack

I have taken even money while using Ace coupons but mainly because I can quickly move on. Also sometimes the dealers get confused if they should pay it like a BJ or just pay even money. It's better not to get the floor involved.
