Same here I tried the blackjack game today and I encounter, split, double, and insurance options, kinda confused because I am not a blackjack person, I tried it sometimes but that's it. In terms of in-game knowledge, I am a newcomer to the game. I often stand when I got 17 plus card and often times house beats me even with 19 card. Kinda see mysefl funny during that time. I lost but the experience is fun.
You are doing the right thing. 17 is the card that you need to stand because it's the safe zone and also hitting further will give you high chance of being busted because only 4 and below cards is your success hit. Never take an insurance especially if your card is not good because you might end up losing more if the dealer hand is not Blackjack while you got busted or stand low since you are paying half of your bet for insurance.
I got it, that is why I lost more than I bet when I chose insurance. I was confused at that time, thank you for explaining the consequences of choosing insurance.
If you are playing evolution gaming blackjack games. There is a tutorial on the menu bar on how to play blackjack. It's very easy if you have the courage to play it just for fun.
I haven't noticed the tutorial. I am the kind of person to rush on things, the "learn as the game goes" type of player. As long as it isn't that serious, I often skip tutorials coz I am too excited to play the game.
