Back to Blackjack

I’m done taking insurance. Seriously.

Every time I’m sitting at a blackjack table and that insurance option pops up, I end up arguing with myself whether I should just take it this once. I always hear dealers trying to push it and a lot of players act like it’s the smart play, but honestly, I’ve tracked my hands and it just burns my stack in the long run. My stats aren’t perfect but I’m done lighting chips on fire hoping for that tiny win-back on a dealer blackjack.

Anyone actually think insurance is worth it, or are people just in love with the idea of “playing it safe”? I just don’t see the point. I get that some folks like the little security blanket but it seems more like a house edge trap to me. Curious if I’m missing something everyone else swears by.

Lol the thing that gets me is how “insurance” suddenly sounds cute when the pit’s dangling some dumb rated-play promo or matchplay and everybody starts pretending theyre doing accounting. Were you taking it more on comp nights when you were chasing a blackjack bonus, because thats where my stack always got mysteriously “disciplined,” lmao.

Crypto casinos make it sooo much worse, same fake "safety" pitch as red/black.
