What Happens if You Double in Blackjack?

In blackjack, doubling is an option that allows you to double your bet after receiving your first two cards. If you choose to double, you will receive one more card and then your turn ends.

Doubling is a good option when you have a strong hand and the dealer’s upcard is weak.

There are a few things to keep in mind when doubling in blackjack. First, not all casinos allow doubling.

Second, you can only double on your first two cards – you can’t double after hitting or splitting. And finally, if you double down, you can only take one more card.

So what happens if you double in blackjack? If you win the hand, you’ll win twice your original bet. If you lose the hand, you’ll lose your entire bet.

And if you tie, it depends on the casino – some casinos will treat it as a push (a tie), while others will treat it as a win for the player.

In general, doubling in blackjack is a good way to increase your chances of winning – but only if you have a strong hand to start with. If not, it’s best to just hit or stand.
