Dec 28, 2014 Blackjack Pays 2 For 1 (≠ 2:1). 2 for 1 pays 2 but takes the original bet making it even money. 2 to 1 pays 2 but you keep the original bet. 1 for 1 would be a push. Mar 06, 2017 The 2:1 blackjack will help you to reach your goal, but once again, even if 2 card 21's are paid 2:1 on split hands, I don't think I would alter my strategy for the same reasons as I described above. For table-advance rounds, 2:1 blackjacks make things easier for you, because you don't need to do any calculations associated with a 3:2 result.
- A double down 21 is not blackjack and should be paid 2/1. A blackjack is only 2 cards, a 10 and ace not 6/5 and jack or any 3 or more cards that equal a total of 21. Sorry Senacchrib but your casino pays 2/1 for a successfully double down not blackjack. Ahhh, most things that seem too good to be true are too good to be true.
- Jan 21, 2019 BB+1 refers to an Australian rule, in which the player will lose all busted bets, plus one unit, if the dealer gets a blackjack. For example, if the player splits 8's to three hands of a 20, (doubled) 19, and a busted hand, and the dealer get a blackjack, then the player will lose 2 units, one for the busted hand, and one from the remaining 3.

Blackjack Insurance Pays 2 To 1
- even money
- When the dealer shows an ace and the player has a blackjack, the player can opt for even money and is paid immediately at 1:1. This is just a version of insurance, not a different bet. If the dealer has blackjack, the hand is a push, but the player receives two times the value of the insurance, which is the same as the original bet. If the dealer does not have blackjack, the player wins 1.5 times the value of the original bet but loses the value of the insurance, and still ends up with the value of the original bet.

Blackjack Pays 2 To 1 Million
7. Number of decks?8. Does dealer hit or stand on soft 17?
My instinct is that losing on 17-20 pushes does not make up for the 21 automatic win and the 2-1 on blackjacks.
