If you\u2019ve played blackjack before, you\u2019ve probably come across the term <\/span>DAS<\/b>. It\u2019s short for <\/span>Double After Split<\/b>, and it\u2019s one of the most important rules to know when you sit at a blackjack table\u2014whether online or in a land-based casino.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s break it down in simple terms.<\/span><\/p>\n In blackjack, when you\u2019re dealt two cards of the same value (like 8-8 or 9-9), you can choose to <\/span>split<\/b> them into two separate hands. This gives you another chance to win because you\u2019re now playing two hands instead of one.<\/span><\/p>\n For example:<\/span><\/p>\n Normally, after splitting, some casinos only allow you to take one more card on each hand. But with <\/span>DAS (Double After Split)<\/b>, you can go one step further\u2014you\u2019re allowed to <\/span>double down<\/b> after splitting.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what that means:<\/span><\/p>\n DAS is considered a <\/span>player-friendly rule<\/b>. It lowers the house edge and makes splitting much more powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n Without DAS:<\/span><\/p>\n With DAS:<\/span><\/p>\nSplitting Pairs in Blackjack<\/b><\/h2>\n
