Can a player surrender right after making an insurance bet?

[Julio88]

Generally speaking, a player is not allowed to surrender in blackjack after making an insurance bet. This is an odd play that may draw attention, mainly because an insurance bet is essentially a side bet, and as such, it is not considered a part of the main game. However, some casinos may allow a player to surrender after making an insurance bet, so it is best to check with the casino's rules and regulations before making any impromptu decisions.

If a player surrenders that means he has lost the bet. The only time it won't lose is when the match is void or postponed. Or perhaps there is injury problem. But you can't make a bet and back out if you are not comfortable with losing. So just see it to the end.

This is an accurate reply. It smacks of being too clever when you try to employ this kind of approach to your advantage. This is why it is best not to tinker with so many strategies for various casino games.

After the insurance bet is made, the game proceeds with the player making decisions on their own hand. The player cannot surrender immediately after placing the insurance bet because surrendering is a separate action that forfeits the player's hand in exchange for retrieving half of their initial wager.

i think players are typically offered the option to make an insurance bet when the dealer's upcard is an Ace. This bet pays 2 to 1 if the dealer has a blackjack, but it is a losing bet if the dealer doesn't have a blackjack. If the player decides to take insurance and the dealer doesn't have a blackjack, the player can still make the decision

If basic strategy dictates it, players are still free to decide to give up after making an insurance bet. This can happen if a player takes insurance with 16 or 15 against the dealer's Ace at a particular count.
