In the card game Blackjack:
Double down: Double the wager, take exactly one more card, and then stand.
In context to your example, it means they usually will not start or risk spending more than planned.

Just like in blackjack, in life, sometimes we "double down" when the stakes are high. Meaning, we will risk A LOT for just that one last shot. To save a relationship, to use all the money we have to finish our education, etc. We will go through great lengths hoping the outcome will worth the risk.

Doubling down is a card term and it means to double your wager because you feel that you have a good hand. Used in Blackjack.

It could also mean taking a risk or going the extra mile to resolve a problem, but finding one's self in a worse situation even.
