The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original wager, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the house. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with a figure in accordance with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays cash even with your original bet and controlled odds on your call wager.
