For beginning blackjack players the idea of placing a double down bet can be a little unnerving. First time players are often to embarrassed to admit they have no idea what they are doing and lose a good deal of money before anyone explains strategy to them. If players are willing to admit their ignorance their first question is usually “What does double down mean?”

A double down bet can only be placed at the beginning of the hand when the player has only two cards and should they choose to place the additional bet they will only be dealt one more card. So the next question becomes “When should you double down?”

While there is no such thing as a guaranteed win when playing, except for being dealt a blackjack of course, there are certain instances when a double down wager should be seriously considered. Any time a player is dealt an 11 they should consider doubling down, but only after considering what card the dealer has showing.

Rules About Splitting Pairs

If you have an identical pair of cards, you can split one hand into two separate hands and play them independently. Suppose, you have a pair of 8′s together, then they would form the sum of 16.
