It permits you to spread wider without being so obvious about counting cards.
If the floor person thinks that your minimum bet is around 2 units he will see your spread as ½ of what it really is.
At DD a 6 or 8 to 1 spread is the limit you should ever attempt, but if it is perceived as 3 or 4 to 1, you will not get much heat.
Your longevity is far less threatened.

Agree with Flash here. If you consistently start each new deal with a one unit bet like a robot, you'll be too obvious. It's a pattern that's hard to miss. One tip that'll help though, is vary your initial bet. Start with one unit if the dealers last up card was a ten card, two units if it wasn't. It portrays a randomness while cutting your initial 2 unit bet by 31%.
To look erratic
To look erratic you could also really put it to them if the count rises on DD when you did place the higher first bet. I know overbetting is dangerous but I would think after a higher open bet you would walking a little taller and have a little more leeway to really put on the heat.
