blackjack odds?

[PokerTony]

if the dealer is showing an ace, what are the odds that they have blackjack?

There are 52 cards in a deck. Any ten, jack, queen, or king, will give him black jack. Assuming it is a one deck shoe and you have none of those cards in your hand, you are playing one hand, and you are the only one at the table, the odds of him having blackjack are 16/49. This will vary slightly with multi deck shoes and multiple showing hands. However unless your counting cards, insurance is always a sucker bet.

Well I love to play blackjack live. The only time I take insurance is when I have a blackjack myself. Otherwise it is a sucker bet.

I dont play blackjack online, I think that is too easy for them to cheat

I only play blackjack at casino and live dealer online. If I have a 20 and there are not a lot of face cards on table, I take insurance. If I have blackjack and not a lot of face cards on table I take even money.
