Sometimes the hook gets set deep and you can not get away from the lure of the possibility of getting rich.  Once down money folks double down and hope they regain what they have lost.  I wonder how many gambling addicts there are in Thailand....that's a rhetorical question by the way.

No thats is incorrect, but I get your drift.

1. In blackjack, to double one's wager after seeing one's initial hand of cards, with only one more card allowed to be drawn afterward. Having already lost a massive sum, he decided to double down an already huge bet to try to win back some of his money.

You are quoting Blackjack.

In 'real' English if you put on twice the bet you previously did, you are doubling UP, logically.
