Question about insurance?

[LordDante]

I'm confused please somebody help me

Lets say the true count is +7(using the zen count)

i max bet with 2 hands (8 units in both hands)

i'm playing alone with the dealer

my first hand receives a hard 15 and my second a 20

the dealer has an A showing?

Do i take insurance in both hands or only in the 20?

Second in my count i have to hit in 15 vs A(index +8) (lets say no surrender in game). I know my 15 is a loser anyway so what do i do?

Using these articles i'm suppose to insurance the 20 only?http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/insureagoodhand2.html

But lets say my true count is +20

Is it no better to insurance both hands because i will probably win both of my side bets.
Or do i still just insurance the 20(if this is the answer at what level do i insurance both)?


thanks for the help Lord Dante

Take insurance on both hands. Heck, even take it on other player's hands! It is a winning bet so make the most of it. If you don't insure both hands then you will lose money.

Second in my count i have to hit in 15 vs A(index +8) (lets say no surrender in game). I know my 15 is a loser anyway so what do i do?

You've answered your own question. If the count tells you to hit, hit. If it tells you to stand, stand. The count will tell you which play will earn the most money.
