I don't get it!

Also you're assumption of getting infinite points isn't correct. Thats only assuming you play infinite games. When I specified 66% or 75% I broke it down to 3 or 4 games respectively to simplify the maths. In your example at 100% you're assuming an infinite number of games. In actual fact doubling at 100% for lets say 5 games would look like this:

dbl/take at 100% for 5 games, 10-0 = +10pts

or drop for 5 games = +5 pts

Hence the drop is absolutely clear. You will save 5 additional points by dropping.

Or what about doubling on your first roll assuming its still 50/50:

dbl/take at 50% for 2 games, 2-2 = 0 pts

or drop for 2 games = +2 pts

Hence the take is absolutely clear.

As expected, there is no gain by doubling without increased GWC. You may as well have just doubled the game stake before you started.
