No,

You're maths isn't correct. Of course at 100% regardless of dbl/no dbl you win indefinitely. Anything above 75% he cannot take as that is the basic takepoint for 2 cube max. You're basically arguing there is no advantage to doubling when ahead in backgammon which cannot be right. Not specific to 2 cube max, doubling on the cusp of the takepoint ~75% yields maximum efficiency, isn't this the basis of backgammon?

Like raising in poker when you have the best hand, ie raise the game stake when the odds are in your favour.
