XG's "best choice"
Posted By: Ray Kershaw

When the correct cube action is no double / take, XG provides a "best choice" percentage. I interpret this as the probability that your opponent will pass which makes it correct to double. But I can't follow how XG calculates this.
For example,in this last roll position, with no Jacoby Rule, XG gives "best choice" as 19.0%. But I think this should be 23.5%. If I get a pass 23.5% of the time for a win of +1 and a take 76.5% of the time with an average loss of -0.889, then on average my loss after doubling is -0.444, the same equity as when I do not double.
Can one of the experts here explain where I go wrong?
