Imagine that you are playing at the table & are prepared to apply the Basic Strategy and then you receive two fives, at the time that dealer has 7. Also imagine that you are already on the verge of finishing your session and have less money than the other players.
Many errors happen under these circumstances. Many players know that according to the Basic Strategy the player must double his game, hoping that their following card is a 10 to obtain a solid 20. Nevertheless, a player who has been losing his gains will be inclined to bet a great amount of money, in the desperate hope of recovering his loss, which is not a good idea.
It is here that a common error in the strategy of the Blackjack can develop. Even though the Basic Strategy suggests the player doubles their bet, the player thinks, “That means that I am more likely to win, so I really do not need to double my bet. I prefer to risk less now and be content with the gains that I can obtain”. There is a certain amount of logic in this, since yes, it is certain that when the Basic Strategy recommends to double the bet, it means that the probabilities of winning are greater than those you ordinarily have.
Nevertheless, not to double your bet will limit the advantage that the Basic Strategy offers to you overall.
Probably you know already, that playing with the Basic Strategy can help to reduce the advantage of the House until less than 1%, but this will not be fulfilled if you remove the main advantages from an appropriate situation to double your bet.
See this situation from a logical point of view. The advantage of the House not only depends on its probabilities of winning, but also on the bet amounts. When not doubling your bet when the ideal conditions are lent to do it, you will not be maximizing your gains as could be anticipated using the Basic Strategy.
In other words, you could be winning as far as you follow the Basic strategy, but not with the gains that could be expected. This has a direct influence in the advantage of the House: it increases it. In order to maintain the advantage of the House at its minimum, it is necessary to double your bet when the Basic Strategy suggests it.
