"He was willing to bet double or nothing on the 500 dollars that Fred had given him that..."
The meaning of this gambling metaphor.
He won $500.00. He is now giving Fred the chance to win it back, in which case he will have either $1,000.00 in winnings, or nothing.
bet double or nothing
Your character is either pretty much sure he'll win the bet, or - the opposite extreme - so desperate that he's willing to risk his complete stake.
Wanna bet on which direction that purple donkey goes when he leaves here?
