From this post about not doubling enough:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/gambling-with-an-edge/38450-what-player-mistake-bothers-you-the-most/2/#post911643
I thought about the opposite direction and Allowing a double for any # of cards in front of you.
How to make it so that's it not +EV using basic strategy?
Some of my thoughts using WAG math:
1) 5% commission if doubling up on 3+ cards, paid before card is dealt
2) 1% commission on ALL doubles if you win
3) If you double on 3+ cards and win with 20, the double up doesn't get paid
How would you do it?
And why isn't my idea of doubling on any # of cards in any of the major casinos?
edit: with restrictions to make not +EV

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

One of the common games that incorporates this rule removes one of the 10-value ranks.

May the cards fall in your favor.

The Long Horn and its sister casino offered it, but don't think they had $25 chips,

But suppose that you can ONLY double 11, but with any # of cards?
Whats that worth?
