Double or nothing

For other uses, see Double or Nothing (disambiguation).

Double or nothing[1] (UK often double or quits) is a gamble to decide whether a loss or debt should be doubled. The result of a "double or nothing" bet is either cancellation of a debt or the doubling of a debt.[2][3][4][5] It can be seen as a gentleman's agreement which grants losers of an initial bet a chance to win their money back, with minimal risk to the winner.
