Doubling Rules
The doubling cube is placed on the bar.
Once the double is announced by the first player and the second player accepts the double then the doubling cube is handed over to the second player, who has accepted the double.
This is a compensatory strategy, by which the second one gets the chance to take the exclusive control of announcing the next double. The next double by the second one implies re-double, which means the stake has been further doubled. But again the second one will also announce the double if and only if he feels that game has turned into his favour.
The re-double announced by the second one will be obligatory to the first one like the earlier. If the first one refuses, then the first one will concede the game. Re-double simply quadruples the original value of the stake. Like the original 1 will become 4, 2 will become 8, 3 will become 12.
The Double and redouble need to be clearly, verbally announced and rejection to that effect may be announced as 'Pass'.
