Goofy score, can you resist?

In Response To: Goofy score, can you resist? (Keene)

I calculate that white will be risking 4 to gain 14 for a raw takepoint of 4/18 or about 11%.

White should be much better than that, so the take should be easy in terms of GWC. Cube vig is not worth much since white is not eager to trigger an auto-recube to 8. Gammons are worth considering, but the 4-1 backgame structure isn't as prone to gammons as others since it so often morphs into an ace point game. Yeah, the gammons are a consideration, but I don't think it would tip it to pass.

But I'm not completely sure about the take decision, so I'll apply Kit's rule and say double.
