The Longhorn on Boulder Highway in Vegas allows you to double down on any two or three cards.If you were to do it on a 9 vs 6 and draw a 2,perhaps you could do it again.
Assuming your original bet of $100 and a triple down bet of $200 for a total of $300, I get decreace in house edge of 1.7% in 6 deck h17 no double after split. This would include bs doubling down, and other double downs that are higher ev than just hitting (I'd give an exmple but I'm going to bed and I already close excel).
Of course I am known for my typoes in excel, so your milage may very.

Some additional hands that are not correct basic strategy double downs would become correct triple downs. One example would be 8 against a 6 (shoe game, S17). Hitting wins 56% and loses 44% (counting pushes as a half win and a half loss) for a net gain of 12%. Doubling wins 52.5% and loses 47.5% for a net gain of only 10%. But tripling wins just as often as doubling, for a net gain of 15%. Other hands would fall into this same category.
Other hands that you would tripledown with are (6d h17 ndas) :
9 vs 2
A8 vs 3, 4, 5
A2 vs 4
A3 vs 4
A9 vs 4, 5, 6
8 vs 6
Atleast that's what Excel and I think.
I was at an Indian Casino last night, and my friend accidently doubled for more, $10 on a $5 bet. I asked him what he was doing, but he won the hand and got paid for all of it.
I wonder if it was a mistake or the casino allows it i will look into it
Here's how you do a triple down -
when the dealer is occupied at first, place your triple down on the wrong side of the original bet,
and when the dealer gets to you say "double for less". Just once per session, mind you. zg

The Vegas Club on Fremont has a similar goofy rule (amongst others). But the game is still a poor one because you give back on other things, including even money on blackjack unless it's suited (then 2-1).

Yes. Before you attempt the tecnq, place your doubles on either side of the original until the dealer corrects you a couple of times.
Then place your triple down on the WRONG SIDE (the side where the original bet goes). zg
Yeah, it's a variation on SuperFun 21 but it's a little worse. The Vegas Club used to be a great place for red chippers to get a decent SD game but now you can rarely even find an open DD table.
BJ for Blood mentions a quadruple down stategy, but it's dicey at best:
To quadruple down, you need to be at 3rd base, and you double as soon as the dealer goes to 1st base. Then, and if, he waits for your play, simply double again.
