The score (after 0 games) is: gnubg 0, sethmoney 0

Move number 5: sethmoney on roll, cube decision?

gnubg	143
sethmoney	167
Position ID: 4NvBwQDgc/ABMA Match ID: UQkAAAAAAAAA

• sethmoney doubles

Alert: wrong double ( -0.991)!

Cube decision
2-ply cubeless equity		-0.415
	0.341 0.069 0.001 - 0.659 0.161 0.007
Cubeful equities:
1.	No double	-0.299
2.	Double, pass	+1.000	+1.299
3.	Double, take	-1.290	-0.991
Proper cube action:		No redouble, beaver (43.3%)

I don't play backgammon propositions, but, this was recently played out in New York City by a few bg players. Your opponent starts the game with a 6-6 and, you own the cube at 2 from the start and are on roll.Would you play this as a proposition vs another opponent- equal ability ?; weaker opponent? And, why? Thanks in advance from players of all skill levels..
