Hi! This is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we’re going to be talking about the odds and your money at a blackjack table. Now when you play blackjack the odds are very simple, on a standard hand if it’s not a blackjack, the odds are one to one. If you happen to place two chips down and you win the hand, you’re going to get two chips back, basically doubling your money. If you were to place two chips down and the dealer were to deal you a blackjack, he’s going to pay you three to two, so for every two chips you have down he’s going to pay you three back and you want to be careful when looking at your chips whenever a payout happens to make sure the odds are being handled correctly. The other thing to make sure of is when you’re getting insurance that you’re paid correctly, that’s another odd you need to check on and that’s usually a two to one payout. Now if you have multiple chips out there, let’s say you have $40 in chips out, when getting paid out, the dealer simply going to measure the chips up and make sure that they sit level, he’s going to do the same thing with all your chips. He’ll take a stack of chips, simply go out measure them, you’ll want to make sure that he’s done it correctly. Remember this is your money!
