- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- Surrender is a rule variation in which the player
- may throw away his hand and get back one-half of his
- original bet. The player may only surrender his first
- two cards.
-
- This feature is specifically known as the more
- popular "LATE SURRENDER" or "CONVENTIONAL SURRENDER".
- "EARLY SURRENDER" is not available.
-
- Early Surrender allows the player to surrender his
- hand before the dealer checks for BlackJack. Late
- Surrender does not.

-
- ■ Since the player is giving up .5 (half) of
- his bet, it stands to reason that the player
- should only surrender if his expectation is
- lower than -.500 (It is important that players
- do not deviate from the charts when confronted
- with a possible Surrender choice).
