Can you surrender in blackjack?

[kayode10]

it can get to a point whereby you discover that the game is not going the direction you want and you may want to retreat your strategy in order to position yourself for better chances of winning.

The question I want to ask you guys is that can you surrender in blackjack? I just want to know if this is not going to affect the scores.

In a game that features the 'surrender' option, the player can fold a blackjack hand before drawing new cards. When a player chooses to surrender, half of the original bet is returned to the stack, and half is forfeited to the dealer.
