Electronic Blackjack - hit after doubling down.

[kewlJ]

There are a whole array of strategies that open up with the 2nd double down. For example you can get quadruple your money in against a dealer stiff card after the fact under the right circumstances.
Example:
The dealer upcard is a six.
You are holding a 2 and 3 as your cards. Your initial bet is 5 dollars. So you double down for an additional $5 (without the glitch you would hit and not double down, but the possibility of improving your hand with the extra glitch card makes the choice a double down rather than a hit). Now your total bet is $10 ($5 initial bet + $5 from first double down). Then you receive a 5 or 6. When the choices briefly flash you double your $10 ($5 initial bet + $5 from first double down) with another $10 bet. So you are now getting in quadruple your initial bet while holding a 10 or 11 against the dealer stiff. Obviously if the 1st double down card had been a 10-value card, you would then opt to stand. But even then you now have a larger bet in (double your bet) against a dealer stiff.

Tableplay, as a math guy (you not I), I can appreciate, your analysis of finding ways to create the biggest percentage advantage win. BUT betting the amounts you describe to get those bigger percentage advantage would have resulted in a win rate of $15 an hour (range). With this play, you HAD to be the machine max ($100) at all times to get the biggest hourly win rate.

I mean would you rather have an hourly that is 130% of $10 wagers or 120% of $100 wagers? (numbers are just an example)

Wait...so at max bet you could double but not quadruple?

Besides the fact that I don't think they would hard code it so that the chip sprites don't exist for amounts larger than $200, wouldn't you have mentioned before now that quadrupling at max bet was impossible, rather than saying that you thought the possibility of quadrupling was implied?

What are YOU talking about? You absolutely could redouble (quadruple) the max bet. Where did you even come up with that?
