Exactly! The same "good bet" as the Odds bet in craps..it's an "even money" (pays the same as the chance of happening), but still..why risk a ton of money on a COIN FLIP?!
The only hand I'll "Double Up" on (if it's offered) is 2-pair when I play DoubleDoubleBonus (Since 2 pair pays 1:1, I try to get it to pay 2:1), and even then, I only do it ONCE.
