Survillance watches where you put your bets you don't want to put your bet in the wrong spot and have survillance start watching you and pick up on your card counting. If you are doubling down you should put the extra money or chips on the dealers right side or closer to (third base than first base). The same if you are spliting especially if you have room to both sides put your new chips to the third base side.
As a dealer I know this because I got in trouble for letting somebody put a bet up on the wrong side. If you put it on the wrong side usually the dealer will grab the money and put it on the correct side. But if he doesn't surviallance might watch the table closer than normal.

Several places where I've played recently put the double bet behind the original bet. It's a new one on me.

Heads up DD

When you play DD heads up, do you still "tuck" the cards under your chips and let the dealer flip them over? It seems like this is a waste of time. Last time I played, the dealer just dealt everthing face up until another player joined the table.

I'd rather have my cards face down in a heads up game... gives you a little time to work out a borderline hand with a fast dealer... and some times heads up, a fast dealer will think he knows what you want and act before you indicate. It avoids conflict and calling in the pit. Plus you never know when your dealer knows how to deal seconds. :) (rare.. but it happens)

No reason to avoid conflict and calling the pit

You get one free shot often with a dealer who makes decisions for you.
You get A,7 give no signal and the dealer turns his 19 or 20, you call the pit and say you wanted to hit.
Add in the doubles on another soft 18 vs stiff or the dealer who takes it for granted that you are staying on 9,9 etc.

If you gave no signal the hand is now a dealer error and most pits will let you play it out even with your knowledge of the dealer hole card when he/she turned it.

After this happens once the dealer will never play your hand for you.
