The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure equal to the original wager. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
