Garzanti's website is down at this moment but I found a definition someplace else:

quote:
doppiogiochista1 (sm. e sf.) (pl. m.-i) Persona che fa il doppio gioco. ~ traditore, opportunista.

Here's Garzanti's translation:
quote:
Lemma doppiogiochista
s.m. e f. double crosser, double-dealer; two-timer.

a spy that works for both parties would be a doppiogiochista or a jockey of the palio that takes money from the contrada that he is not riding for in order to lose on purpose.
