Double Down and Triple Your Earnings!
One of the most strategic option through which a player can earn more money down the betting table is through the blackjack double down. Blackjack double down simply means that the player can double one's wager. After doubling down, however, the player is to take one more card from the dealer, then stand.
If the player beats the dealer, the win is double the amount of the doubled bet. If the player placed an original bet of $10, the doubled amount is $20. On a 2:1 win system, the player gets a total of $40 on a double down. That's 300% more the original bet!
If the dealer wins, the player loses $20.
The player can also double down an amount less than the original. If the original is $10, the player can also double down, say, $5.
Blackjack double down has to made before another card is drawn. It better be opted for when, and only when, situation seems most advantageous. That is, when dealer's bust up percentage is very high.
In blackjack, the house rules that the dealer has to keep on hitting unless his hand totals 17 or higher. Based on this rule, computer simulation has shown that the dealer's bust up percentage ranges from 26 to 35 percent when the up card is 2 through 6. Five and six are the most likely to give the dealer a bust.
This is one such moment you might want to consider before taking a blackjack double down. On another hand, you also have to consider your own pair of cards.
Double on 10 and 11--- these are hands that are less likely to give you a bust.
There are other basic moves for potential wins. Double on soft ace 2 or 3 (13 or 14) against a dealer's up card of 5 or the6. Double on soft ace 4 or 5 (15 or 16) against the dealer's up card of 4 through 6. Double on soft Ace 6 (17) if the dealer's up card is 3 through 6. Double on soft 7 (18) when dealer shows a card of 3 through 6.
Blackjack double down is also a strong option when you have a hard hand 9 and dealer has an up card of 3 through 6.
When you make a blackjack double down in a face down game, toss your cards face up next to your original bet. Place your double down bet next to your original bet, never on top of it. The dealer will then draw you another card.
So to collect more money down the betting table, opt for blackjack double down when opportunity knocks. Again, the rule of the thumb is: opt for a blackjack double down when the dealer's up card is likely to give him a bust, while your pair of cards is least likely to bust on a single draw . By doubling the original bet, blackjack double down can sure give you to as much as 3 times more your original bet. Now, that's what you call cash flow!
