Interesting. Since only apparently permitted at one venue, not a lot of time on this.
I like it. Obviously, if you double your 7v6, getting 2, you will xx, snatching another 2, xxx for full value. So, if x, xx, ending with 12 or 13 or 14 against dealer 7 or 8, you are in the soup, and your standard full value double is called for, or forfeit, all depending on what’s in the 2 hands.
But, with your option, Going further, your bet is 10, doubled for 10, redoubled wth an additional 20, putting 40 at risk, before making your decision of xxx for 1 more, or forfeit. The math all changes, and significantly at that. I won’t try to calculate that that line is, but it sure looks good.
The other point, like anything else, is that decisions like this are based on count, I.e., just another index. Food for thought.
