Taking insurance in blackjack is a side bet offered to players when the dealer's upcard is an ace.
The bet is equal to half the player's original wager and pays 2:1 if the dealer has a blackjack. However, the overall odds of the dealer having a blackjack are low, making insurance a bad bet for the player in the long run.
It's generally not recommended for players to take insurance as it increases the house edge. It's better for players to focus on basic strategy and card counting instead of taking insurance.
