There is some debate about whether blackjack counts as a split bet if the dealer declines to hit. In general, most casinos count blackjack as a split bet if the player and dealer both request it.
However, there are some “no-hit” casinos that don’t count blackjack as a split bet when it’s declined by the dealer. So, it’s important to ask before playing. .
If you’re playing with a live dealer and they decline to hit, then your bet is considered a split bet. The casino will then take your bet and add the amount of the blackjack hand (plus any bonuses) to the amount of your initial wager.
For example, if you wagered $10 on a pair of jacks and the dealer had Jack showing, your total wager would be $20 ($10 + $10). If you were playing against a machine, your bet would be placed in the machine prior to any action on the part of the dealer.
