If I go to a casino, do most casinos allow straddles?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. Some places even let the button straddle. Most places just let the guy in UTG make a "live straddle" meaning that it is like a new big blind and is "live" because the straddler will act "last" preflop instead of the BB.

And lets say the blinds are 5/10 and somebody straddles, they stick in 20. So everyone has to pay 20, which means like the new BB is 20?

Yes. That is pretty much it.

What is the point of the straddle?

Also, at casinos, if we want to run the cards twice will they let me and another player do so if we both want to?

I haven't done this at my level (5/5 and below). So, I don't know.
