Hand #1

You WIN!
Double down is correct.

The dealer has a 7% chance of making twenty-one while your chance of pulling a ten and reaching twenty-one is almost 31%.

The dealer will make nineteen or above only 27% of time. You have a 46% chance of reaching nineteen or above. The dealer will bust 24% of the time. You CAN'T bust.

Doubling down is ALWAYS the correct strategy in this situation.

Some people don't want to risk the extra money, so they hit instead. That is a COSTLY mistake. The ONLY way to beat the casino in the long run is to bet MORE when you have a clear advantage. Betting with an "edge" is how the casino earns money. You should do the same thing.
