If White just takes this 8-cube and never recubes, I think his takepoint is around 16% ATS. Blue's 16-cube takepoint is around 34% so, assuming 70% efficiency, White's cube vig should be worth around 3.5% making White takepoint around 12.5%. I think most of White's recubes will be pretty inefficient so maybe he needs 13% - 13.5% to take. Does he win this often? Looks close but I think he does. Blue can't hit with 65,64, and 54 which will give White good racing chances if he rolls a 6; White might roll an ace if hit loose; and White could win from a closeout. R/close T.
