Exciting Playing Blackjack Game

One of the best things about the game is that you have the chance of increasing your bet from the time of receiving it. If you are confident about the positive outcome of the hand you can take full advantage of this offer in order to decrease the edge of the house.

Double Down

One of the single opportunities for you to increase you placed bet in the game of blackjack is called Doubling Down. Based on the name of the action, the action is an offer to those who are hoping of increasing their bet, hoping to win on the certain game. When you have seen your two cards, it's the only chance where you can make a decision, whether you want to double down or not.

Most gamblers use this option if their two first cards have total 10 or 11 points. Because they hope, that the next dealt card will be 10-valued and the total score will be 20 or 21 (10-point cards are the most frequently met in the deck). The player should inform the banker about his/her choice and place the second bet next to the initial one. Don't ever place it ON the initial bet, because you may be suspect in cheating.

Remember, that it is strongly recommended to split Aces and 8s always.
