« Dealing what’s in the cards |

Betting

On the felt in front of you is a betting circle or betting box. Place your chips in this spot to indicate how much you want to bet on the upcoming hand. You must make all bets before any cards are dealt.
After you make your bet, you aren’t allowed to add, take from, or touch the wager again. After the hand is resolved (the dealer has paid out the winners and collected chips from the losers), you may change the amount you wager for the next hand.
Ah, but of course, exceptions apply to every rule. And in blackjack you may alter your bet in two ways:
Doubling down: You double your original bet.
Splitting: You break your original hand into two separate hands.
For more information about these two lucrative options as well as other play¬ing options, check out the next section, “Playing Your Hand.”
