Surrender is generally better in scenarios where the player has a low probability of winning against a strong dealer upcard, such as an ace or a 10, while holding a weak hand like 15 or 16. By choosing to surrender, the player forfeits half their bet, minimizing losses in situations where playing on would likely result in a bust or a loss. This strategy can be particularly beneficial in the long run, as it helps to reduce expected losses on hands with poor winning odds, allowing for more efficient bankroll management and improved overall gameplay.

That's an excellent point. Surrendering in situations where the player's chances of winning are notably low, like when facing a dealer's strong upcard, can be a strategic move to minimize losses in the long term. By forfeiting half the bet instead of potentially losing the full amount by continuing to play a weak hand, players can efficiently manage their bankroll and improve their overall gameplay experience. This approach is especially helpful in scenarios where the odds are against the player and making the most of surrendering can lead to better outcomes over time. It's a smart way to play strategically and preserve your bankroll for more favorable situations.
