In Response To: XG cube analysis -- Methodology question (joe freedman)

You may be thinking that in a long race the take point is about 21.5% which gives a cubeless take equity of 1.14 and since this is 1.17 cubeless take equity how could it be a take with the cube power. The answer is that when the opponent's cubeles equity has gammon wins as a portion of the equity the trailer's win % is higher than it would be for that same cubeless equity in a race. This means he is closer to his recube ponit and he thus has more cube power.

From your second question I am guessing that you are misinterpreting the reported 7.31% gammons value. The 7.31% is an estimate of what would happen if the game were to be played out. If the game ends with a cube turn an estimated value for that position is included in the overall average. Even with a misunderstanding of that value though how were you led to think that White becomes TG 7% of the time?
