Should you buy insurance?

[zeriko]

Basic strategy always says to never buy insurance, sometimes I get a hunch and do it anyways and in right ? Alttho I try not to. What do you think ? Is insurance worth It?

[blockbet]

Absolutely not. You should never buy insurance in Blackack. If you actually count the number of times it would save you in a normal session, its far less than what you would save from spending money on every single Ace up that the dealer has. Plain and simple, never buy insurance. Its a gimmick for new BJ players so that house can make a little extra money.

Professional players almost never buy insurance. This is because the dealer only has a 30% chance of having a blackjack if the up card is an Ace. I take insurance if I feel like it, but very seldomly.

Here is a great article (and video) about the topic from "The Wizard of Odds" that's certainly worth the read:

I hate it when I do that, and I lose both my insurance money and the hand. Then I feel like I never want to play blackjack again lol

[Etude]

No I do not like to but insurance when playing Blackjack at all because it consumes your bankroll just to protect that one hand of cards dealt.

[lupandina]

I prefer not to buy insurance, but sometimes I just accidentally accepting it, if playing on mobile, as it just pops up not in time 

[Cheetos1337]

I always buy insurance, it counter balances the 3 to 2 black jack payoff by giving you a 2 to 1 profit. I personally think it's always worth to grab it on Stake. Maybe not so worth it on rules of other casinos.

Maybe try in a different browser, or check if you are using a public wifi which may have blocked the website.

I would use insurance when I got 10 + Royal Family (J/Q/K), because the percentage of dealer was higher when we got 10 + 10. 

Same, I can't open it even using VPN. I don't know or Indonesian ISP can't connect to that site..

I just tried it now and it worked. Maybe it is blocked in certain countries? I have no idea...

[DanielRandomDud]

Insurance should be changed completely.

You are actually paying 50 percent for just a little chance of they getting 10 value. If insurance was 0.25 of cost OR payng x4 then it will be worth it

Now? definitely no. never buying it Its like beting against your luck. Is that point of gamble?

Well that is the video from the link there .

[meggiemegs]

I have before but it is barely enough to say I do. It just never seemed worth it and most times I am right, it has worked out before so in the end all I can say is if you got a feeling take it otherwise never use it.

[Shaniqua]

i never do, when i do geet it its usually on accident

[Mrputo]

yes, insurance make you insured when something happens to you

I used to pay for insurance every single time.

I can't remember what stream I was watching, either oleg or Darkblood, and they said you should never buy insurance. That mathematically it was a waste of chips.

I stopped after that and I don't regret it. More often than not the insurance would have just been a waste.

[bmg]

I never ever buy insurance I think its's a waist of money on bj .  I have seen to many hands that it didn't help.

I dont know if you are trolling or not but, the game blackjack has an insurance option. 

I could totally get people getting confused if you just read the title of the threaad and not the contents... but cmon people put some more effort... 

i bet this was a troll and im fallong right into it huh...

[KiXxnTRiXx]

I usually never do.. Its nice if the dealer was holding balckjack, if not, then you lose the insurance and a chance to lose your hand.. makes it not a good option for me personally.
