By the way, insurance is a great bet, IMO. ANYTIME you make money on your losers you're a genius. I disagree with some pundits on this.

Actually, we have noticed that games with PG Insurance actually have lower holds, as it diverts a lot of money back to the players on hands otherwise fully lost,

I've wondered about this.

When I researched PGP before my last trip, back in 2010, I didn't take the insurance bet into account. But when i encoutnered it I figured it was justa nother bad side bet. Latter research, by which I mean the Wizard's main site, confirmed this.

But I also noticed no player ever made the insurance bet where I played. A delaer commented on the bet once, saying most players don't take it because they feel they're betting against themselves.

But I wondered if it would be a good bet when banking, if it pays when you're banking nad get a stinker of a nothing hand.

Now I'm wondering again. I suppose I'll make it next time

If I'm playing $10 or $15, I might throw 1 or 2 out on insurance. If I get an ace high pai gow, the hand is suddenly much more exciting because a pai gow push turns into a win. I love the insurance bet.
