Double Up Poker Club Verona New Jersey
Since this was just mentioned and I've never actually (cared) to do the math of the 'Double Up' feature...If you were playing 25c (5 quarters) and you double'd on a single-unit win, and kept going 10x in a row..you'd have $1280...
What would the odds of this happening be??
I know the odds of getting a Royal Flush on JoB are about 40,000:1
Are the odds of winning 10x in a row better or worse?
I know the odds of winning any ONE of them is 50/50
I know the odds of winning any ONE of them is 50/50
Double Up Poker Club Verona Va
Games by what manufacture?I was playing Game King video poker, I think, and 4 times in a row on the double-up feature, not one of the 4 cards that I could have chosen would have beat the card showing?
Where is the 50/50 there?
Some, I think deuces wild that I have played a few times, shows you 3 cards, low, middle and high and you must choose high to win, middle is a push.
So, I guess that one is the 50/50.
So I must conclude that all double-up features are not created equal.
but the reality is, at what point do you not risk the money on a coin flip?
if you are playing a 25 cent game and win even money on the first hand and start the double up routine...
1. 1.25
2. 2.50
3. 5.00
4. 10
5. 20
6. 40
would you, a 25-cent video poker player, risk $40 on a coin flip?

The computer puts 4 cards out there (or 5 or whatever) for you to choose from. Are you saying that allowing the computer to choose first changes the odds from 50/50?
If the computer wasn't allowed to ever choose the highest card available, then the odds would actually be in your favour.
Think of it this way. You and me both grab a card from a standard playing card deck. If I turn over the card first, who has the advantage? It doesn't matter, either way, we are turning over the card we selected...

IGT makes Game King, and those games are all 50/50. The game randomly chooses 4 cards for you and one for the house. It was just chance that you couldn't win on those games and if you play long enough, you'll see the opposite and get a game you can't lose.
that's because you have wasted a golden opportunity whenever you stop at 4 in a row twice !

The double or nothing feature in video poker is the only other casino bet, besides the odds in craps, with no house edge. Whether or not you take it depends on your reason for playing. If you are playing a negative-expectation game, for purposes of entertainment, then I think you should accept the double-up option in moderation, depending on on your desire or aversion to volatility. The reason is that it is better to play a game with zero house edge than a positive one. However, you have to balance that against your tolerance for risk. If you are fortunate to be playing a positive-expectation game, then I would decline the opportunity to double.
The double up feature is truly fair and has no house edge. This is one of the few times I say you can go either way and just do what you want. From what I know of how slots are programmed the cards you get in the double up screen are not what you would have got on the next hand. Random numbers are constantly being drawn and those chosen at the exact moment you hit 'deal' determine what cards you get.
You are of course quoting me from my March 24 column. This is a good and fair question. I should point out that taking or laying the odds in craps does not help the player to win more, only to bet more at no additional expense. The reason I encourage craps players to bet on the odds is that it is the cheapest bet on the table and is truly a craps bet. All odds, as well as place, buy, and lay bets win if one number is thrown before another. This is a very fundamental aspect of the game. It only makes sense for the player to make the bet with the lowest house edge. Refusing the odds in craps to bet on something else instead is like refusing a free coffee refill in a restaurant and instead buying another cup.
As I pointed out in the last column some video poker games allow the player to make a double or nothing bet with no house edge. The reason I am not as forceful about taking this bet is that it does not follow the flow of video poker. The video poker player is generally not there to make a mindless even money bet. Gambling should be thought of as entertainment, for which the player should expect to pay for. If the player doesn't get any entertainment value out of the double up feature then he shouldn't pay for it, even with no house edge. So my advice to the video poker player is make the double up bet if you enjoy it, otherwise don't.
This question refers to advice I gave in my newsletter, suggesting video poker players take the double up option when playing for a bonus at a Playtech casino. Doubling up does not lower the house edge of video poker, but does introduce another bet with zero house edge. For the same reason you should take or lay odds in craps it cuts the overall house edge playing video poker if you take the double up feature. Playtech does count double up bets towards the play requirement, so it gets the player to the bonus with less expected loss. So unless you are playing a machine with a return of over 100% and you don’t mind extra volatility then I recommend accepting the double up option.
I understand that at least with some machines the number of doubles is configurable but is usually set to 4 or 5. How many times you should take the double up depends on how good or bad the pay table is and your tolerance for risk. If your goal is to achieve the highest expected return then you should double up the maximum number of times, or at least until a win would put your over the W2G threshold of $1200. When I play negative pay tables online I usually double up to $100 to $1000, depending on how much action I have to grind through and my winning goal. My advice is to ask yourself how much you are comfortable betting on the turn of a card and keep doubling up to that point.
Just to attract customers who like it. It definitely lowers hands per hour, and thus profits, but if they get extra players it may be worth it.
Any legitimate game maker has the double up feature as a truly fair bet with a 100% return. So you have a 50/50 chance of winning any given bet (not counting ties) regardless of the amount bet or the results of past bets.
It depends on your reason for playing. If you are trying to achieve some winning goal, like doubling your bankroll, then you should keep doubling until you reach your goal, or you reach the maximum number of doubles allowed. If you are trying to play as long as possible on a given bankroll, then I would double only on small wins, and then only once. If you have some combination of both goals, then I would have a mixed strategy. The more important winning is to you, the more aggressive you should be doubling. The more important “time on device” is to you, the less you should be.
