Wisecarver Paradox: Middlegame position

I remember some post from the past referenced a so-called Wisecarver paradox, where when you make the correct checker play the opponent should (re)double, but where you make the wrong checker play the opponent does not have a (re)double. Apparently these positions are fairly common in bear off positions...I guess in middle game positions they may occur even more frequently.

In any case, here's a middle-game position that I found which fits the bill.

Money Game
Blue to play 51
