We explain when to go for it and when it’s better to just hit your hand. 二 十一点是个有趣的游戏，因为随着一手牌的展 开，玩家可以做出有意义的决定，影响到自己的 赢牌机会。最重要的决定是叫牌还是停牌，但也 有更错综复杂的决定，比如保险、投降、分牌以及最令人 兴奋的一项：加倍。 玩家喜欢加倍，因为他们通常在占优势时才这样做， 它提供了获得双倍彩金的机会。理想状况是这样的：你的 前两张牌为11点，一手好牌，面对荷官很弱的明牌，一 张6。此时你占很大优势，赢的机会略大于输的机会的两 倍。这是加倍投注的完美时机，几乎相当于看到结果后再 投注！ 很多玩家对加倍情有独钟，但他们也常忽略掉一个弊 端：加倍投注后，你只能拿到一张牌。你必须在拿到三 张牌后停叫，没有机会再叫牌。有时这可能非常不利。比 如，如果你前两张牌是9点，加倍后拿到2 ！于是你不得不 在11点上停牌了，局势十分糟糕。 也有加倍投注无懈可击的时候。让我们回到那个玩家 11点对荷官6点的例子。在这种情况下，你认为自己会想要 第四张牌吗？即便加倍后拿到A变成12点，你也只会想停 牌而已。 B lackjack is an interesting game as players get to make meaningful decisions that affect their chances of winning as their hand plays out. The most important of these decisions is whether to hit or stand on a hand, but there are also more intricate decisions, such as insurance, surrender, splitting pairs and the most exciting of all: the double down. Players love doubling because they generally do it when they have the advantage and it offers the opportunity to win twice what was originally anticipated. A typical dream scenario goes like this: your first two cards total 11, a great hand, against the dealer’s weakest upcard, a 6. At this precise moment, you are a very strong favorite, slightly more than twice as likely to win as you are to lose. It’s a perfect opportunity to double your bet. It’s almost like making a bet after you’ve seen the result! A lot of players fall in love with doubling. But there is a downside that players often forget: when you double you receive one more card only. You must stand on your three-card hand, with no opportunity to draw subsequent cards. Sometimes this can be quite disadvantageous. For example, what if you double your two card 9 and receive a 2! Now you have to stand on 11, a truly horrible proposition. There are times when there is essentially no disadvantage at all in doubling. Let’s get back to that 11 against the dealer’s 6. Can you ever see yourself wanting to draw a fourth card? Even you receive an ace on your 11, for a total of just 12, you are going to want to stand.
