Doubling down is a major variation in any blackjack play, but that does not necessarily mean that everyone knows how and when to use it. Use it too often, and you will look like a greedy player, while using it too infrequently (if at all) just makes you look uninformed about how to double. While it is true that doubling down can maximize your profits in certain cases, these occasions do not always occur, and doubling down at the wrong time can cause you to lose more money than you normally would.

When you play blackjack, there are times when you feel like you have just sat down at a really lucky table where you just can not seem to stop winning. Maybe the odds at that table are somehow better than expected, or maybe the blackjack dealer is simply giving the players at the table more chances to win (and this really happens). But all things must come to an end, you had to leave the table eventually. Thing is, you could relive that winning streak by finding the "right" table, and you can do so no matter wherever you end up by just looking for a few signs.
