Ken, what is the PERFECT INSURANCE BETTING ON HAND ONE?
As recomended by Wong's Professional Blackjack i.e:-
A perfect side count for Insurance purposes would count Tens as -9 and all other cards as -4. But, I know of no one that uses this. The method used by CV is to use an unbalanced count found in the 1981 version of Wong's Professional Blackjack. Here, Tens are counted as -2 and all other cards as +1. Insure if the count is greater than four times the number of decks. The Ten count can also be used for the Bust Out bet if you can find that rule anywhere.
Therefore, player should not take insurance even all 14 cards are "small card"(2 to 9) and dealer shown Ace on first hand. Am I correct ?
Could you explain further?
