OK, if you're taking, then I am. But I wouldn't be very surprised if I got gammoned, seeing as pretty much 70%+ of White's wins are probably G's.
On the other hand, if White doesn't hit, the cube is coming back in a flash. He's got two men stuck behind a four prime and his timing is very iffy. So, it seems likely to end up that either Blue will have two on the bar vs. a closed board and 8 outside checkers, or he'll be trapping White off a crunched anchor game. Makes for fun times.
Also, White has 4 dancing numbers, after which Blue is way into TG land (6s hit and escape, 5s either hit or cover, 3s cover, 4s can be used to cover, pick and pass, make the 4 point, as do 2s and 1s--that's 36 good rolls). That's nearly enough to take alone, White's gammons notwithstanding. 42 misses or hits and leaves two inner/four blots, and 25/26/21/41/45/46 hit and leave one inner blot.
For money, I think this is a clear D/T with Jacoby. Without Jacoby, I'm not sure White has a double. I think that's the trickier part of the decision. But I guess if someone's going to drop, White should be doubling.
