Glossary of Terms Used in Blackjack

Request

Request an additional card after receiving the initial 2 cards. Players can ask as many times as they want, provided they do not exceed 21 points.

stand

Set not wish to receive additional cards. Usually when a player decides to stand has a halfway decent hand or the dealer's visible card is weak.

Fold or Duplicate

Double down immediately after receiving the initial two cards, and apply for a single additional card. If a player decides to double the bet usually means you have a good chance of winning the hand with his 3rd card, doubling profits. When you double down, this should be placed next to the original bet before ordering the 3rd card.

divide

This can be done when the player is dealt two numerically identical cards, or two identical figures. Basically, the two letters are separated and the wager is doubled; created two new independent Blackjack hands together. To divide must place a bet equal to the original with the new charts. Surrender or abandon

Option to waive the chance to win, deliver the letters, and lose half your original bet. Players take this decision if they feel they can not beat the dealer's hand. This is only allowed in some real casinos (not online).

Pasarse

If the sum of the scores of a player's hand exceeds 21, then this is "last". The original bet will be confiscated by the dealer.
