It's easy to use the doubling cube. All this is a counting device which keeps track of the worth of the game. For instance if the game is worth 1 point, and you and your opponent have agreed upon a point it equaling $10, if you double the game it is worth 2 points. A 2 point game is worth $20 according to the stakes you and your opponent talked about in the beginning of the game.

Just remember that when using the backgammon doubling cube, you have the right to double again when it's your turn to roll.
