What a Double Down Costs You
Doubling down means you match your original stake and receive one card only, then stand — no hits after that. It suits a 10 or 11 against a dealer's weaker upcard, and it costs you twice what you already put in, so the decision deserves a beat of thought. In Blackjack Club and our Evolution live tables, the double button greys out
when a hand does not qualify, and some tables restrict doubles to totals of 9, 10 or 11. Table limits and the double rule sit on the felt before you place a chip. Split hands can be doubled where the table allows it.
