Me pueden ayudar a traducir esta palabra: DOUBLING

Este es el contexto:

DOUBLING: The doubling cube (the die w/numbers) changes winners’ scores dramatically; therefore, games are played to 20 or 50 or more points. At the beginning of the game the doubling die is neutral and is placed face up on the 64. At any time during the game a player can turn it so that the 2 is face up and offer it as a “bet” to his opponent, raising the stakes of the game. If the bet is accepted by the opponent, the game is now worth 2 points to the winner (instead of the standard 1 point). If the opponent rejects the bet, he forfeits the game and his opponent earns 1 point. If the opponent accepted the bet, he now has the right to double the bet to a 4 later in the game and in turn, the opponent must choose to accept or forfeit. This scenario may continue indeﬁnitely but there are usually not more than four or ﬁve in any game. The points increase as follows: 2,4,8,16,32, etc.

Apuestas (dado de apuestas)

Explanation:
¡Hola! ¿Cómo te va?

Te dejo esta otra definición, que es mucho más cercana a nosotros (eso de doblador no me suena muy feliz al oído). Para mí, es un calco del inglés "doubling", que bien podemos erradicar.

Básicamente, lo que hacés con este dado, es ponerle presión a tu oponente y jugarle una "apuesta". Creo que es la mejor definición.

Acá te dejo unos cuantos enlaces para que revises :)

¡Saludos!
