    Thank you, sir.
    I haven’t played ES, but I often take both LS and insurance together. There is absolutely no reason you cannot take both ES and insurance, because insurance is just a side bet.

    Casino won't let you do that usually . You can't insure a hand that doesn't exist (their explanation) . Others members here will explain. Also if you tell them that is a side bet , you are bound to be countermeasure and / or 86.

    Well, it would be nice of you were right, but that isn't the way the casinos see it.

    I have played games (in Europe) where I ES after taking insurance. Raised eyebrows sometimes, but was accepted.
