What the punter did with twice the amount of duplicity? (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doubled up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what the punter did' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'with twice the amount of duplicity?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'twice the amount' becomes 'double' (I've seen this before).
'of duplicity?' becomes 'dup' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'double' put next to 'dup' is 'DOUBLED UP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for doubled up that I've seen is " Bent in two".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
