In blackjack, there are times when you want to put up another bet, called "doubling down." You've seen your cards, you've seen the dealers cards "Doubling down" either wins you more money, in the short-term, or loses you less money in the long-term. If we take a look at an 11, for example, you want to double down if the dealer is showing a 2 through 10; If you have a 10, you want to "double down" if the dealer is showing a 2 through 9; and if you have a 9, and you want to double down if the dealer is showing a 3 through 6. "Those are the basic rules for doubling down".
