The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a sum on par with the initial bet. If the house does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pony’s up money equal to your wager and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
