Do you allow other players to place bets on your hands

new years eve i spread to 2 hands and whom else but a ploppy at the table got bent out of shape and pulled back their bet. they asked to put it on top of mine, i said "no problem, but the decision on the hand is mine."
they played it, we won, they looked pissed off at me, they left and i rode out that shoe til the end playing 2 hands.
that was my first $1k in one day win.... too. quite memorable for many reasons, but i'm sure i won't forget this ploppy and they won't forget me.
there are many great ways to exploit spreading to two hands when there is one empty seat at a table and a ploppy is playing 2 hands. you spread to 2 and they freak and go to one, the count goes neutral and you go back to one.....

Personally I don't give a crap what people do in terms of betting behind me, they just have to abide by my plays, which may be good, bad or ugly in thier opinion.
the trick is to make people to NOT want to bet behind you. Just chant "oh here comes another 16 I can just feel it!, come on 16!" every so often and you'll be sure that nobody will bet behind you.

A tricky situation
Since most gamblers are superstitious, I have been very successful by just telling these people that when someone bets on my hand I always seem to lose.
A problem can come up when someone bets real big on your hand and you land up with a negative expectation split such as 8,8 vs 9,10,Ace.

If they are betting more than you tell them, if you don't give me $XXX or I will hit this or not hit this etc. If it doesn't start a brawl it will make you money.
If someone is going to add a spot in a good count it is better to have them piggy back just to keep the big cards from falling on a neutral hand.

Basically, he let me do what I wanted. We each had a $10 minimum bet on my hand. When a chance for a double came up, he let me double on top of his bet as well as mine, so if I won I'd take the $60 and he'd take the $20 from his original bet. He kept encouraging me to double on 10 vs. 10 (can someone confirm that this would be the correct play in this situation?)
As I was winning, he kept handing me chips as well for me to keep. Unfortunately he was losing most of his own money so he eventually asked for it back. Too bad he went broke after 20 minutes.
Oh why can't I find a ploppy like this every day...
