What I would like to explain to you now is double down. You might have heard that phrase
that player say, “double me down, dealer”. What a double down consists of is any two
cards, what that means, they get two cards; the dealer will give them one more card. Usually,
players double down on a ten, or an eleven, why? Because that’s a good foundation bet,
in their first two cards, they’re more apt to get a very good hand or twenty-one that
way. So let me show you how this happens. I come to the player, six and five, they have
an eleven, they, lets say they bet a hundred dollars, again, blue chip. I come to the player,
they say, “double me down”, the first thing the player needs to do and the dealer
needs to be aware of, is that the player needs to double their bet. So for instance, they
have a hundred; they’ll put up another hundred, match the bet. The dealer would then give
them only one more card, and this card will be down. What a good idea is to do, is to
turn the card a little this way to represent no more cards. So this is called a double
down. Same for the ten, dealer says double down, lets say they bet five dollars, the
player will then put up another five, the dealer will then double down. And here’s
a last example, this is not ten or eleven, but deciding how a player plays, they might
want to double down on a nine, that’s their option. Here’s a seven and two. “Double
me down, dealer”, lets say they have another hundred up, double down, the player needs
to put up another hundred, the dealer will then double down, put the card down, turn
it to the side to represent there are no more cards and then play goes as continues.
