How much do crossovers matter again?

When you start putting checkers on lower points X-overs really start to matter since the bearoff will become somewhat roll oriented. Three checkers on the ace pt suck for White here and I suspect that if this were played as a straight race (no hitting allowed and Blue leaves a shot with aces and isn't blocked on 11) that it would probably be a close pass.

I think there's enough added vig after 61 and from slight wastage on other 1's to allow White to eek out a take here, but I'd certainly not stake my life on it.

No way is this a clear easy take. This race sucks for White down 5 pips and with a long time before he can bear a checker off and considerably more wastage due to 3 extra checkers (when compared to Blue on the ace pt) I think you have to penalize White 4 or 5 pips in the race making this a huge cube and maybe a take.
