Is the blackjack surrender rule a secret?

Nope, it’s not some clandestine info, even though many blackjack players might not be clued in on the surrender rules. See, the early surrender rule isn’t your only escape hatch when you’re in the online blackjack arena.

You’ve also got the option to bust out the late surrender rules while you’re at the blackjack table. But hold your horses; we’ll spill the beans on that in a bit. Just remember, it’s a big deal from a casino player’s perspective to have the chance for both early and late surrenders.

The dealer is crucial!

Playing blackjack isn’t always a race to hit 21 and emerge victorious. Sometimes, it’s all about strategy and making the right moves. The house edge looms, lousy hands crop up, and the odds can flip at any moment. But remember, it’s all about staying cool at the table!

Before diving deeper into surrender strategy, ensure you know all basic blackjack rules. If you need a quick reminder, check out our previous blog on how to play blackjack.

How Does the Rule of Surrender Help Me Win?

The surrender strategy may be your golden ticket to winning big at blackjack, whether you’re at the tables or kickin’ it at your favorite Bitcoin casino. It’s a strategy that’s got a special place in the hearts of many players.

Now, what’s this surrender thing all about? It’s like a shortcut to making blackjack a tad less complicated. There are moments when saying “I’m out” and surrendering is the savvy move. Sometimes, it’s not about scoring big wins; it’s more about dodging the bullet and saying, “Nah, I’ll pass this round.” That’s the name of the game – the basic strategy that can save your bacon.

The Blackjack Surrender Rule 101

The blackjack surrender rules aren’t exactly common knowledge among most folks. You’ll typically find it as an option when you dive into the blackjack surrender variation at various online casinos.

However, it’s worth noting that not all casinos play by these rules, which might nix your surrender option. But when you do get to deploy this strategy, here’s the scoop: it’s your escape route when things get dicey.

By folding your hand before it goes head-to-head with the dealer’s, you can salvage half of your bet. So, even when surrendering, you’ll only part with 50% of your wager, and the other half goes to the house. It’s your way out of a tight spot!

When to Use The Early Surrender Option

Picture this: you’re sitting at the blackjack table, just about to kick off the game. You’ve got your initial hand, and the dealer’s showing their up card. It’s at this precise moment, before you make any moves or draw any additional cards, that you can consider the early surrender option.

Now, if you decide to take this route, your hand becomes a goner. You’re pretty much conceding the current round, which might feel like a bummer, but here’s the kicker: it often saves you from an even bigger loss. You sacrifice a bit to hang onto half your bet, and that, my friend, can be a lifeline.

So, surrendering in blackjack isn’t always a bad move; it can set you up for a stronger play in the next round.

The time to surrender in Blackjack

Timing is everything, even in the world of blackjack. When you’re at the casino table, the decision of whether to surrender early or late can be crucial.

Here’s a little tip: Consider how many decks are in play. If there are four or more decks, surrender becomes a valuable option. There are two types of surrender in blackjack – the late surrender and the early one. Understanding when to use each can make a big difference in your game.

Early Surrender

Surrendering can be a lifesaver in blackjack, where you only lose half your bet. But remember, not all tables offer this option.

To make the most of early surrender, you’ve got to act fast, giving up your hand right after receiving your initial two cards but before the dealer checks for blackjack.

Early surrender can really turn the tide in your favor when the dealer holds a powerful hand, like an ace or a ten. Here are some scenarios where early surrender is your friend:

• When the dealer has an ace and you’re sitting on a pair of 3s, 6s, 7s, or 8s.
• When the dealer has an ace and you’re staring at a hard 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17.
• When the dealer’s packing an ace and you’ve got a risky 5, 6, or 7.
• When the dealer boasts a 10 and you’re grappling with a tough 14, 15, or 16.
• When the dealer rocks a 10 and you’re holding a pair of 7s or 8s.

These tactics work like a charm in multi-deck blackjack games. But if you’re playing with only one deck, don’t surrender when facing a dealer’s 10, unless you’re holding precisely a 10+4 or 9+5. In other situations, stick to the regular blackjack game plan.

Late surrender blackjack

Late surrender is a more common option in blackjack, and it kicks in after the dealer checks for blackjack.

Here’s when it’s a good idea to wave the white flag with a late surrender:

• If you’re holding a 14, 15, 16, or 17, it’s often wise to surrender, especially if it’s your only option at the table.

Now, let’s dive into some specific scenarios:

• If you’ve got a 14 in single deck blackjack and the dealer flaunts a 10, surrender.
• When you’re dealt a pair of 7s against the dealer’s ace, and the dealer hits a soft 17, it’s a surrender moment.

Moving on to 15:

• If you’ve got a 15 and the dealer shows an ace while hitting a soft 17, surrender with a 9+6 or 10+5. And whenever you’re staring down a dealer’s 10, surrender with a 9+6 or 10+5, no matter the deck count (4 to 8 decks).

Now, if you’re handed a 16:

• In single or double deck blackjack, surrender when the dealer holds any 10 or an ace. But in a game with four or more decks, surrender when the dealer shows a 9, 10, or an ace.

Lastly, if you find yourself with a 17:

• In single deck blackjack, surrender with a 10+7 if the dealer reveals an ace and hits soft 17. The same goes for any blackjack game when the dealer has an ace and hits soft 17.

If you are ready to hit the game, we suggest you pick one of the selected Bitcoin blackjack casinos and test your skill.

How to Surrender At The Casino Table?

When you’re ready to surrender in blackjack, there’s a hand signal to get the message across. Use your index finger to draw a little line on your hole card, making it visible to everyone at the table.

These surrender rules work in your favor as a player. While there’s still a house edge to consider, it’s not too hefty. You’ll lose just half of your bet, and that’s a fair deal to take.

Below you can find the main sections of this blog post. We not only explained why 180 is the most important score in darts but also listed professional players’ achievements, like who scored the most 180s in a match ever, who made the highest points score, and more.

By the end of the blog post, you will know the best professional darts players and what makes them fans favourite. We also added several darts records listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and answered several interesting questions regarding the game.

What Is 180 in Darts?

Every darts player dreams of getting the most 180s in a match, in a tournament, and even to break a world record. The coveted 180 score is the maximum possible with 3 darts. It provides players with quickest route to victory. Here are the different versions of the highest possible scores:

All those combinations of the highest possible scores can be seen in real games. Fans of this sport even bet on it at the best darts betting sites for 2023. If you are lucky, you will see with your eyes how a player scores the most 180s in a match ever with no more than nine throws.

180 Score Records in Darts History (So Far)

The current technologies and the TV broadcasted darts tournaments allow many game fans to witness how players make history and break records. Seeing a player scores the most 180 in a darts match ever is a chance of a lifetime, but here are a few other 180 scores to be admired:

The dozens of sports channels allow us all to see who scores most 180s in a world championship match this year or in the previous competitions. If you like wagering, you can even place a bet on a match winner, score or even tournament champion at the best UK sports betting sites.

Records Broken by Registered & Pro Darts Players

It is challenging to rank all achievements without mentioning the same name multiple times because, in most cases, the categories overlap. For example, scoring the most 180 in a darts match ever was a personal achievement for the players.

Highest Scores and Greatest Achievements

The registered darts players break many individual records, like the record for most 180s in a match. Besides the winning factor, many personal achievements enhance a player’s fame. In the name of fair play, we listed the players in alphabetical order:

As you can see, the competitions offer more excitement than just observing how the score shows who gets the most 180s in a world championship match or the most 180s in a match by one player. Great attention is placed on players’ age and personality because sometimes they are essential to victory.

Darts Players’ Age & Longevity Achievements

So far, there are 660+ WDF and 680+ PDPA registered players who appear at domestic and international championships covered by the top online casino and sports betting sites. They all draw attention with skills, personal life, and character.

It is clear that all those darts players have left their mark, and many of them still write history. Remember, this is a short list, so don’t worry if you can’t see your favourite player’s name.

Darts in the Guinness Book of World Records

Since darts also falls into the ‘bar game’ and ‘friendly games’ categories, it is often played over a pint of beer. You may even see a listing of local players’ most 180s in a match’ listing hanging on the wall of the local pub or hear stories about funny bets.

The social side and availability of the game are reasons why there are darts entries in the Guinness Book of World Records organised by the Guinness Beer. We picked a few of the most interesting darts records you can try to beat:

Many people, not only professional darts players, put daily efforts into breaking darts-related records. Anyone can participate in the Guinness World Records competitions and be the next to score the most 180s in a match ever. We might see your name if you are good at hitting the target.

Everyone else can keep playing darts in bars with friends. The game allows wagering and playing for fun, but be careful because the competitive spirit may push you to the extreme. Avoid worst lost bets and throw the darts for fun and pride.

FAQ

If you ever wished to learn who scored the 180s in a match, this is the right spot. We picked some of the popular questions about 180 scores in darts and answered them. If the brief information is insufficient, follow the links to the relevant parts of the blog post.

Blackjack Odds vs. Blackjack House Edge?

Before we begin, let’s get one thing straight. Blackjack odds and Blackjack house edge ARE NOT THE SAME THING. They are closely related, but they aren’t the same thing.

Odds in Blackjack predict your chance of winning or busting based on your hand or the dealer’s face-up card.

The house edge predicts how much of an advantage the Casino has over you and how much you are expected to lose during each bet/overall. The house edge exists in all Bitcoin casino games, but Blackjack has the lowest house edge.

Naturally, the house edge is based on the odds, but it is merely there to give you an optimal approximation of how much of an advantage the casino has over you. If you want to know more about the house edge, read our guide on Blackjack House Edge.

For now, let’s talk about the odds.

What kind of odds do I have in Blackjack?

When you play blackjack, two odds matter the most: The odds of winning and the odds of busting if we take a hit.

The odds of winning Blackjack

Let’s cut to the chase.

• Your overall odds of winning a hand of Blackjack are: 42,22%
• The odds of the dealer winning a hand of Blackjack are: 49,10%
• The odds of a hand ending in a draw are: 8,48%

Many things can change the odds slightly, but this is what your odds will look like during most blackjack games, especially online ones. For example, Atlantic City Blackjack (an online casino game) has similar odds to the one we mentioned.

These odds assume that you understand the basic rules of playing blackjack, that you hit and stay according to the cheat sheet, and that you can double down and split your hand. They apply for winning a basic blackjack bet (without any side bets) with a blackjack payout of 3:2

The odds of the player busting at Blackjack

Now we are going to talk about the odds of busting. Busting in Blackjack means going over the limit (over 21), which means you lose automatically. Unlike the odds of winning, these are your odds of losing a hand if you take a hit. In other words, you don’t want this percentage to be high.

• Player Hand Value – 11 or lower – 0%
• Player Hand Value – 12 or lower – 31%
• Player Hand Value – 13 or lower – 39%
• Player Hand Value – 14 or lower – 56%
• Player Hand Value – 15 or lower – 58%
• Player Hand Value – 16 or lower – 62%
• Player Hand Value – 17 or lower – 69%
• Player Hand Value – 18 or lower – 77%
• Player Hand Value – 19 or lower – 85%
• Player Hand Value – 20 or lower – 92%
• Player Hand Value – 21 or lower – 100%

When the two of your cards are at a specific value, you should consider your odds before asking for another card.

The odds of the dealer busting at Blackjack

Just because our hand looks good doesn’t mean we will win. The dealer’s hand plays a pivotal role (not to mention that the dealer has the house edge), and it is in our interest to know which cards he/she might get. Here is the blackjack odds table for the dealer busting:

• Dealer’s up card – 2 – Bust rate: 35.30%
• Dealer’s up card – 3 – Bust rate: 37.56%
• Dealer’s up card – 4 – Bust rate: 40.28%
• Dealer’s up card – 5 – Bust rate: 42.87%
• Dealer’s up card – 6 – Bust rate: 42.08%
• Dealer’s up card – 7 – Bust rate: 25.99%
• Dealer’s up card – 8 – Bust rate: 23.86%
• Dealer’s up card – 9 – Bust rate: 23.34%
• Dealer’s up card – 10 – Bust rate: 21.43%
• Dealer’s up card – A – Bust rate: 11.65%

Again, don’t forget that some blackjack tables (especially if you play blackjack online) can improve blackjack house odds. So ensure you know the game’s rules before playing for real money. Most online casinos will let you play their games in demo mode without spending any money, so you should play a few games this way before playing for real.

Can you improve your odds of winning Blackjack?

Yes, you can! Here’s how:

You need to find the right blackjack table. This is easier said than done, unfortunately.

First, if you play blackjack online, you’re out of luck. Most online blackjack games follow the same rules, automatically shuffle cards after each hand, and many don’t let you surrender or allow many other rules.

Now, if you find a land-based casino that allows all of the things we mentioned above, your odds are already improved. Having the ability to surrender, having the dealer stay on a 17, and not having the cards shuffle after every deal dramatically improves your odds.

This brings us to the best and most controversial method of improving your odds: card counting.

Can you have better odds than the casino?

You actually can, but only at certain land-based casinos. You can do this by card counting. However, before you get too excited, know that it’s not possible in most casinos. Because most casinos don’t want you to reduce the house edge even further, they implement automatic card shufflers or simply have their dealers shuffle the cards after every game.

Card counting can only be done inside casinos that don’t shuffle cards after every hand and implement all the rules in the player’s favor. If you understand the game, know the most optimal way to play the cards you are dealt with, and know how to count cards, you can have an edge over the casino.

You can check out our card counting guide for a guide on how to count cards.

However, remember that card counting isn’t illegal; it can get you banned from the casino should you get caught. And seeing how it’s ultimately up to the casino to decide if you count cards, they can throw you out anytime.

Should you play Blackjack?

Absolutely. Even without using the basic Blackjack strategy for playing optimally, this game is still delightful and lucrative because of the blackjack payouts. If you play your cards right (no pun intended), play responsibly, and don’t overspend, you’re looking at one of the best casino games. Just don’t forget that you won’t be able to use most of our tips and tricks if you are playing online blackjack.
