The on-rush of internet gambling has left many better people than I, a little confused.  It’s as if there is too much information, too much choice and perhaps sometimes we feel that we are drowning in a sea of virtual cards.  However, if we take a game such as blackjack and use some skill, intuition and a large helping of freely given advice from fellow players – we can all improve.

For the purists out there, the taking of Blackjack insurance might seem like an offense against nature – but for those of us mortals used to playing at a less elevated status it helps to know what options are available to you.  Insurance will be offered when the dealer is showing an Ace.  Essentially, you will be gambling that the dealer has Blackjack and can thus choose to ‘insure’ the dealer’s hand.  If the dealer does have a Blackjack, you win your initial wager back i.e. a 2:1 return.  If the dealer turns out not to have Blackjack then you have only lost your insurance wager.

You have to way up carefully whether you think that the odds are stacked in your favor or the dealers’; when you first start out in Blackjack that can be a delicate line to walk.  If at any time (not necessarily at the exact moment a game is in progress) you feel a little unsure, just ask your fellow players or visit the innumerable blogs out there, which pass out advice.

Consistent winning at Blackjack is possible with the right strategy.
