What is going on here? White has an anchor and wont be closed out. And if things go South he can win from an ace pt game. He rates to come in next turn. What happens when he comes in? White's checker on 13pt controls outfield and a nice set of 7-6-5pts builders ready to extend the prime or make another home board point, or attack. Blue certainly has threats. But he is short on time. All his active builders are on 6 and 5pts. This means if he is forced to use his 6s and 4s to attack, he will be breaking points. He would be better off to have couple of those spares back on 8 and 10 pt. Also, If blue rolls 55 he is not going to like it. There are plenty of market losers. But I think Blue needs more of advantage to double.
