    Hey Ben, thanks for all the Videos!
    I just got a short question regarding this video: what does Double Deck mean? That you can double your bet on any two cards in your first hand (and not only on a sum of 9 to 11)? Or that you are playing with only two decks? Probably you have explained it already in a Video and i just missed it, I beg your pardon if thats the case, but as I am from germany its quite hard for me to understand everything. I have to go through the videos very slowly and carefully, and just haven´t foundthe answere yet.
    Looking forward to your Response, und viele Grüße aus dem verregneten Deutschland!

    Jan,

    Double Deck means they deal from only 2 decks. It is much less common than 6 or 8 deck nowadays. But most Las Vegas casinos have at least one Double Deck table, as do many other casinos in the US.

    Thanks Colin,
    Unfortunately they don´t have that in Germany, at least not any place I know… The entire rules are worse here… you can only double on 9-11, only split once, and no doubling on split hands, and they use minimum 6 decks (If they don´t even shuffel after each round -.-) so I guess I will have to make my money the usual way, or move to USA :P
