Question regarding player blackjack with dealer showing ace. Say if the player didn't want even money and wanted to insure for less than full, will houses allow this?
Ps. Not something I plan on doing. Just came up if this was an option or its only even money or wave it off.

If they're smart, they'll allow it.
Example: $25 blackjack and player "insures" for $10. No dealer bj, player gets $20 where as even money gets you $25.

It's a bad bet either way, so, sure! They'll allow it.
Or at least they should.
It may confuse the dealer, and he may need to ask a floorman, but it should be allowed.

Generally allowed, usually confuses dealer. Often in a 6:5 game you won't be allowed to take even money so can insure a blackjack there. Been a long time since I've done it because it's fairly rare situation but a berry cheap cover play if counting and have a minor over bet out, insurance is close and don't insure second hand.

I insured a blackjack for less before. Dealer had no idea what to do. It was pretty funny.....and sad at the same time.

It is important that when your hand is blackjack to watch that the dealer doesn't take your main bet to pay your insurance bet whether the insurance is for less or full.

Insurance is the EXACT. Same thing as even money if you are taking full insurance
No longer hiring, don’t ask because I won’t hire you either
