After you win, you can play a special "double or nothing" game called "double up".
You typically choose "High" or "Low". If the dealer draws 2-7, low wins, 8 is a "push" and you get your bet back, and for 9-Ace, high wins. If you win, you get double of your original winnings, and you can play "double up" again, if you lose, you get nothing.
"Double up" is one of the rare casino bets you can make with no house edge.
Double up in slots is a feature of certain video poker slot in which you can double your winnings. You have a choice of four or five unseen cards you can pick from, if your card is higher than the dealer's card you win, if it's lower you lose. You can keep on doubling up as long as you keep winning.
District officials got the idea for wiring the bus during
occasional drives on school business to Phoenix, two hours each way,
when they realized that if they doubled up, one person could
drive and the other could work using a laptop and a wireless card. They
wondered if Internet access on a school bus would increase students’
academic productivity, too.
double up
1. Bend over suddenly, as in pain or laughter. For example, She doubled up with a cramp. [Late 1800s]
2. Share accommodations meant for one person, as in The hotel ran out of rooms, so we had to double up. [Late 1700s]
In
basketball, a
double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in one of five statistical categories—
points,
rebounds,
assists,
steals, and
blocked shots—in
a game. Multiple players usually score double-digit points in any given
basketball game; the double nomenclature is usually reserved for when a
player has double-digit totals in more than one category. A
double-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in
two of the five categories in a game. The most common double-double combination is points-rebounds, followed by points-assists. Since the
1985–86 season,
Karl Malone leads the
National Basketball Association (NBA) in the points-rebounds combination with 811 and
John Stockton leads the points-assists combination with 709. A
triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in
three of the five categories in a game. The most common way to notch triple-double is through points, rebounds, and assists.
Oscar Robertson leads the all-time NBA list with 181.
Jason Kidd leads the list among active players with 107. A
quadruple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in
four of the five categories in a game. This has occurred four times in the NBA. A
quintuple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in
all five
categories in a game. Two quintuple-doubles have been recorded by high
school girls, but none have occurred in college or professional games. A
similar accomplishment is the
five-by-five, which is the
accumulation of at least five points, five rebounds, five assists, five
steals, and five blocks in a game. In the NBA, only
Hakeem Olajuwon and
Andrei Kirilenko have accumulated multiple five-by-fives since the
1985–86 season.
兩個兩位數[1]是
籃球的術語，指一場比賽中球員的個人表現在以下任何兩項中達到兩位數：
得分、
籃板、
助攻、
抄截和
阻攻。大多數的兩個兩位數表現都是得分和籃板達到兩位數，其次是得分和助攻。
兩個兩位數由於不像
大三元那樣難以達到，所以在
NBA、
CBA等聯盟中比比皆是。事實上大多數比賽中至少都有一名球員拿到兩個兩位數。但是在整個賽季中平均成績達到兩個兩位數比較困難。
