doubling is always 0 ev, just adds variance.

Actually, it's -EV, assuming the machine is -EV to begin with. Not that doubling changes the percentage any, but your betting more, so you will lose more.

I thought you usually only were given the double-down option after a win. I haven't played in a while, so I could be very wrong.

You are right, its a high card game, not another VP hand. CORed is confused.
