In this guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/\" alt=\"Blackjack\" title=\"Blackjack | Black-Jack-21.com\">Blackjack<\/a> with Even Money explains how this rule works - and why you should avoid it at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Blackjack with Even Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine the scene: You receive a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/asse\/\" alt=\"Ass\" title=\"Ace | Black-Jack-21.com\">Ace<\/a> und eine Bildkarte, was Ihnen den begehrten Blackjack und &#8211; normalerweise &#8211; einen sch\u00f6nen Zahltag beschert. Doch dann stellen Sie fest, dass die offene Karte des Dealers ein Ass ist. Jetzt werden Sie nerv\u00f6s, denn wenn die Abw\u00e4rtskarte des Gebers eine Zehn ist, ist Ihr Blatt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/blackjack-gleichstand\/\" alt=\"unentschieden\" title=\"draw | Black-Jack-21.com\">undecided<\/a>, und Sie erhalten keinen Wert f\u00fcr Ihr Blackjack-Blatt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/black-jack-punkte\/\" alt=\"Punkt\" title=\"Point | Black-Jack-21.com\">Point<\/a> you can ask for even money in most casinos. This means that you can invoke the rule before the dealer reveals his face-down card, and that you can use your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/einsatz\/\" alt=\"Einsatz\" title=\"Stake | Black-Jack-21.com\">Insert<\/a> are paid out at a ratio of 1:1, regardless of which hand the dealer still has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reward is that you get some money <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/blackjack-immer-gewinnen\/\" alt=\"gewinnen\" title=\"win | Black-Jack-21.com\">win<\/a>no matter what happens.<br>The risk is that the dealer ends up with no blackjack and you would have won even more.<br>Die meisten Spieler, die die &#8222;Even Money&#8220;-Regel missbrauchen, gehen davon aus, dass es aufgrund der vielen Zehner, Buben, Damen und K\u00f6nige im Deck sehr <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/wie-hoch-ist-die-wahrscheinlichkeit-beim-blackjack-zu-gewinnen\/\" alt=\"wahrscheinlich\" title=\"wahrscheinlich | Black-Jack-21.com\">wahrscheinlich<\/a> ist, dass der Dealer einen Blackjack bekommt. Anstatt sich dem Elend eines Push zu stellen, bei dem sie nur ihren Einsatz zur\u00fcckbekommen, werden sie gierig und holen sich das Even Money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have probably already heard of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/black-jack-versicherung\/\" alt=\"Versicherung\" title=\"Insurance | Black-Jack-21.com\">Insurance<\/a> in blackjack, which is available to all players at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/tisch\/\" alt=\"Tisch\" title=\"Table | Black-Jack-21.com\">Table<\/a> is offered if the dealer has an ace on the card. We have already mentioned that you should never take out insurance, as this is not profitable in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the same reason, even-money insurance is never a good idea. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/black-jack-spielen-lernen\/\" alt=\"Spiel\" title=\"Game | Black-Jack-21.com\">Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I use Even Money in Blackjack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: No. The math just doesn't add up. You rely on the dealer playing blackjack so often in the long run that your move with Even Money will pay off. But in reality, that's not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let's take a blackjack game with six <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/decks\/\" alt=\"Kartendecks\" title=\"Packs of cards | Black-Jack-21.com\">Packs of cards<\/a>where you have a blackjack and the dealer shows an ace. At 96 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/black-jack-karten\/\" alt=\"Karten\" title=\"Cards | Black-Jack-21.com\">Maps<\/a> with a value of ten (tens to kings), there is a 30.7 per cent risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/gewinnchancen\/\" alt=\"Chance\" title=\"Chance | Black-Jack-21.com\">Opportunity<\/a>that the dealer has one of them to score a blackjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So that's a 30.7 per cent chance that your hand will be a push. So it's much better to call even money and secure a win, you might think. Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at the big picture: There is a 69.3 % chance that the dealer's face-down card will NOT count as 10, i.e. this is the state of the game if you do nothing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 7 % of the cases, the dealer has a blackjack and you win 0 winning units.<br>In 3 % of the cases, the dealer has no blackjack and you win 1.5 units (a 3:2 payout).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you work out these contingencies, you will find that your blackjack hand is worth about 1.04 units. So if you bet $10, the expected long-term profit of your blackjack hand, at least if the dealer's up card is an ace, is $10.40. Is it any wonder that casinos are eager for you to take Even Money and settle for $10 every time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The casinos are not sneaky, of course. They are simply clever. They have to make money to survive, and so they get their money back. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/uk\/regeln\/\" alt=\"Regeln\" title=\"Rules | Black-Jack-21.com\">Rules<\/a> like these have a tiny blackjack house advantage that helps them win.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very few blackjack players know the even money rule, let alone how to play it correctly.
