Not enough chips || CAN'T DO DOUBLE

Error message

Not enough chips || CAN'T DO DOUBLE

What it means

ValueError raised by Chips.double_bet() when can_double() returns False — the player's chips cannot cover doubling the current bet. The method refuses to double instead of silently clamping.

Solutions

1. Guard with can_double() before calling: if chips.can_double(): chips.double_bet()
2. Otherwise re-bet a smaller amount or skip doubling
3. Ensure amount/bet_amount stay in sync after win/loss settlement

Example fix

# before
chips.double_bet()
# after
if chips.can_double():
    chips.double_bet()
else:
    print("cannot double, insufficient chips")

if chips.can_double():
    chips.double_bet()
else:
    print('insufficient chips to double')

def can_double(chips) -> bool:
    return chips.amount >= chips.bet_amount * 2

try:
    chips.double_bet()
except ValueError as e:
    if "CAN'T DO DOUBLE" in str(e):
        pass  # skip doubling, keep original bet
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Calling double_bet() when bet_amount * 2 > amount, e.g. bet 60 with 100 chips; typically invoked from chips_manage after a double-down decision.

Common situations: Auto-double strategies that don't check chip count, doubling after a string of losses depleted the stack, or bet_amount not synced with amount after payouts.
