Does the box have an advantage?

Without getting into specifics I can say that from a 100% pure equity standpoint it makes sense for the box to accept a cube in certain circumstances when he would otherwise have a drop. I'm sure you've seen the instances when it is correct.
There are a few types of situations: One, where some cubes have been dropped by the team and the box need only take one recube and win to keep the box (due to the drops, the points end up working out this way) Two, complex backgame situations - taking half the cubes in drops that can be played out better than your opponents. Three, other less usual ones.
