Splitting pairs Splitting pairsIf your two cards have the same value, you can "split" them into two separate hands. If you do that, you also have to make two bets (one for each hand). Each split pair can be split again, for a total of four hands. If you split on an ace, you can only take one hit, but for all of the other cards you can hit as much as you want.Doubling downWhen your total is 10 or 11 (after being dealt your first two cards) you can choose to "double down". This is starting a second bet (up to the same amount as your original wager). When doubling, you can only take one hit.* N.B. - It is dangerous to split two fives. By doing that you are replacing a hand that is potentially excellent for drawing on or doubling down on, by what will probably be two poor hands. InsuranceIf the dealer's face-up card is ace, you can make a side bet. You can wager up to half your original bet that the facedown card is worth 10 or more (i.e. a picture card or a 10). If you are right, and the dealer has a Blackjack , you’ll win the side bet (the insurance bet) but lose the original bet. It feels like you haven’t lost or wan. If it's not a face card or a 10, you’ll lose the side bet (the "insurance").SurrenderWhere permitted, a player may give up his first two cards and lose only one-half his original bet. A late surrender means this option is allowed only if the dealer does not have a Blackjack. More valuable to the player is the early surrender, which is allowed even if the dealer holds a Blackjack. But the casinos seldom offer this option.Card CountingThe technique of card counting allows the player to take note of changing probabilities and by altering playing and betting strategies accordingly, they can gain a statistical advantage over the casino.Learning the skill of card counting is relatively simple. You do not need to have a photographic memory or a freakish mathematical ability in order to learn. The card counting system, described below, is designed only as a rough guide to give you an idea how card counting is done. It is not recommended that it will be put to use in a practical sense. It is intended only to give a feel for how card counting is done. For single deck games:
