The safest situation for a double is when you and your partner have taken an active part in the bidding, for then you can count | upon holding a share of the high cards, and (owing to your hidding) It is probable that the opponents are over-calling. Even so, the player who is considering a penalty double must bear in mind the pos- sibility of the adversaries "switch- ing" into a safer contract, and the points which he and his partner would acore by playing the hand.
