Still many people win money at the 21 tables.bla

The other mistake players make when a possible dealer’s Blackjack rears its ugly head is insurance. In the long run insurance is definitely not worth it, but one of the worst plays you can make is insuring a hand of 20 made of up two 10′s.

Another mistake a lot of Blackjack players can make is choosing the wrong play when the dealer shows an ace and could be holding a possible Blackjack. If a player has a Blackjack and the Dealer is showing an Ace, the player can still purchase insurance.

By taking even money you could be giving away potential winnings. You may lose out on a few wins once in awhile, but your Blackjack account will be reduced in the long run by taking even money.
