A reader points out that the PLP’s media announcements have started using gambling slang.

“The reports of Elbow Beach’s demise were greatly exaggerated.  Elbow Beach is doubling down on Bermuda with a multi-million dollar investment in the upgrade of 98 cottages across the property. The upgrades are pure platinum and are sure to attract the discerning tourist.”

Doubling down is a term from blackjack.  You have to wonder, despite the widespread political and public resistance to casinos, who in the inner circle is so desperate to make it happen?

(And psst, a couple of million dollars doesn’t go far across 98 cottages).
