Blackjack With Under/Over Thirteen

Under/Over Thirteen is simply blackjack, just as the other tables in the casino that have blackjack, except with Under/Over Thirteen, there is a second bet you can place other than your original bet for the next hand of blackjack. The tables that offer Under/Over Thirteen as a secondary bet, will usually be clearly marked with a sign that points out that it is an Under/Over Thirteen Blackjack Table. You will also usually see a separate betting area for the Under/Over Thirteen wager, usually two circles, one for over thirteen and one for under thirteen.

When you place your bet for the next hand of blackjack, you can also place a second bet on the Under/Over Thirteen portion of the blackjack felt. However, you can not place only an Under/Over Thirteen bet, you would also have to place a bet in the betting circle for the hand of blackjack, just as usual.

The Under/Over Thirteen bet in blackjack is a secondary bet, you do not have to place a bet on Under/Over Thirteen to play at the blackjack table that offers this secondary bet. This bet is betting on whether your next hand of blackjack will be higher or lower than thirteen, with your initial first two cards. A lot of blackjack players chose not to place this secondary bet, claiming that it is a sucker's bet, while other blackjack players will place a bet on Under/Over Thirteen on every hand that they play of blackjack and will only play on blackjack tables that have Under/Over Thirteen offered as a secondary bet.
