It's become one of the things I look forward to most during my week. If you've read my columns on Blackjack before, you are aware that I wanted to be a Blackjack dealer as a teen. I have a good sense of the Blackjack Strategy Card, so when the virtual clock is ticking down, I'll voice what the card tells you to do.<\/p>\n<p>The methodology is that you've got four chances to get a good to great hand. An A, 2, 3, 4 nets you an 18-21 against a bust card. That is the same odds (~28%) as getting a 21 when doubling down on 11 vs. a 10\/Face Card, where your good options are 10, J, Q, K, which is also a recommended double down via the card. But you're playing agains the dealer. With a 5, they have a 42% chance of busting. So you're playing those odds coupled with your odds of getting a good hand which combined, is very favorable.<\/p>\n<p>Funny enough, Hank and I ran into this exact situation in back-to-back hands on the stream on Monday Night.<\/p>\n<p>It clearly didn't work out for us here, but to win at Blackjack, you've got to be consistent! For more Blackjack, be sure to check out our streams every Monday Night.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See more here: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barstoolsports.com\/blog\/3438308\/doubling-down-on-soft-17-vs.-a-bust-card-can-be-tough-to-stomach-but-its-the-right-move\" title=\"Doubling Down On Soft 17 Vs.
