Default doubling in negative counts

I was using the KO software and doubled a 10 v 5 at a really negative count and it told me I should have hit. When is it correct not to double?

I think there are some bugs in the software. I know sometimes it tells me I have made errors aswell when I have made the correct play. Then I double check the playing strategy and I am still correct.

It must be an error. The KO software doesn't even list a deviation for 10 vs 5.

It would take too negative a count not to double that. In KO full for 2-decks they show to not double a 10 vs 8 at -7, so 10 vs 5 would be even lower than that. Maybe someone can find the exact number, but I doubt you would ever use it, since you shouldn't be playing counts THAT negative anyway!

Double !Because it's a really negative count and the house edge is in your side.

I've never seen an indices chart that had a "stand" in that situation. Maybe in one of those with 185 deviations that some of the pros use????

Since when does a negative count mean the edge is on the players side?

It doesn't Scott. From the content of this guy's other posts, he gives evidence he is a Troll.

Yeah, that wasn't a serious question. I should have worded it differently to avoid confusion, but thanks anyway!
