Don't limit raising of the stakes to simply doubling.
When one side turns the cube to 16, allow the other
dude to say "I see your 16 and raise it a 100". And
then, of course, his opponent can say "I see your 100
and double it"... :)
I bet this would give BG such a reputation that we
may even start seeing bad ass cowboys switch from
playing poker to BG in western movies, with loaded
dice of course, and blast each other with twin six
shooters across the board... :)

In money play that is allowed, though it goes through

the normal progression, 16,32,64, .... In the 70's
in Northern California there were even names for the
first three "reraises": double, beaver, raccoon, aardvark .

about raising the pot (not cultivating:) in limited and
preset intervals of doubling.
What I am talking about is being able to say "I see your
beaver" (never while playing against females, of course:)
"and I raise you fifty raccoons", (and without restrictions
on seeing anybody's raccoons), the opponent being able to
raise a herd of aardwarks, otters, etc... :))

Gambling and genetics are the fount of probability theory.
When I was younger I used the doubling cube in Tennis and
Chess. In chess if you accepted and held the doubling cube,
a draw was a win.
