Daily Double

High-stakes quiz square

Daily Double is a betting format requiring the bettor to pick winners in two consecutive races—if either loses, the bet loses.

The term gained broader recognition through the television quiz show *Jeopardy!*, where it designates hidden clues that allow contestants to wager any portion of their current score: She found the Daily Double and bet everything.
