The drawing of a six-inch line under your wager with your index finger is supportive of the verbal signal, and is mainly for the benefit of surveillance.

They don't care how surrendering is handled anywhere else in the world. Joined: Feb 11, Threads: 62 Posts: Usually, the dealer says to say surrender, because the signal looks like a hit signal, but then after saying surrender verbally to draw the line behind the wager for surveillance.
IE, "proper procedure: Verbally say "surrender" Dealer acknowledges you want to surrender Do hand signal for surrender [for surveillance] I wonder if a different hand signal could be made I'm sure it could be to introduce a new signal for surrender, one that is easy but doesn't look like the hit signal.
Perhaps every BJ seat can come equipped with a French flag, that must be waved when surrendering. Wizard Administrator. Joined: Oct 14, Threads: Posts: It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. Joined: Sep 26, Threads: 22 Posts: I find it all depends on the dealer.
I've been scolded for only using the hand signal and for only saying surrender. So I usually just ask which they'd prefer the first time I surrender That happens far too often.

We asked Geoff what the hand signal was for the free bet. He hadn't come up with one. However, when splitting aces, each ace gets only one card.
Sometimes doubling after splitting is not allowed. If the player gets a ten and ace after splitting, then it counts as 21 points, not a blackjack. Usually the player may keep re-splitting up to a total of four hands.
Sometimes re-splitting aces is not allowed. After each player has had his turn, the dealer will turn over his hole card. If the dealer has 16 or less, then he will draw another card.
A special situation is when the dealer has an ace and any number of cards totaling six points known as a "soft 17". At some tables, the dealer will also hit a soft Winning wagers pay even money, except a winning player blackjack usually pays 3 to 2. Some casinos have been short-paying blackjacks, which is a rule strongly in the casino's favor.
The player cards in blackjack are usually dealt face up, but in single-deck and double-deck games, they are dealt face down. Here is how to indicate what you want to do under both kinds of games. Hit : In a face-up game, tap the table with your finger. In a facedown game, scrape your cards lightly against the felt. Stand : In a face-up game, wave your hand horizontally. In a facedown game, put your cards down face down, preferably tucking them under your bet.
Double : In a hand-held game, first put your cards down, face up. Next, whether the game is face up or face down, put your additional wager behind your original wager. If you have a pair, hold up your index finger, to designate that you want one card, as opposed to splitting. Split : In a hand-held game, first put your cards down, face up. Next, whether the game is face up or face down, put your additional wager next to your original wager.
If you have two fours or two fives, the dealer may not be sure if you want to double or split, so make a V sign with your fingers to indicate you want to form two hands. Surrender : In a hand-held game, first put your cards down, face up. Next, whether the game is dealt face up or face down, touch the felt with your index finger and make a horizontal line, about six inches long, behind your wager. Make sure the dealer is watching carefully, because if he isn't, he may think you want to hit.
It doesn't hurt to say "surrender" as well, particularly the first time you do this with a new dealer. Few players invoke the option to surrender, so dealers don't see the signal often. Through the years, I've learned that very few people have the will to memorize how to play every possible situation in blackjack. If you are not familiar with the terminology, a "hard" hand is one that has no aces, or one where aces are forced to count as one point, lest the hand bust.
A "soft" hand is one with at least one ace, and you are able to count the ace as 11 points without busting. An "N" indicates the player should not split.
In these cases, the player should treat the hand as a hard total. With a total of hard 10 or 11, the player should double if he has more points than the dealer. For this purpose, a dealer ace counts as 11 points. To be specific, the player should double with 10 points against a dealer 2 to 9, and with 11 points against a 2 to One question I get asked a lot is what to do when the dealer offers you "even money.
Accepting even money is the same thing as making an insurance bet. Regardless of whether the dealer has a blackjack or not, an insurance bet will guarantee being paid even money. However, insurance is still a bad bet.
