In Response To: this should be a known position (Keene)

Goodness gracious me I don't beleive my eyes, asperasions being cast upon the value of PRAT as a cube aid. I've been banging a drum for the last 4 years stating that it died with the dinosaurs along with " if your not sure its a cube but think it might be then it probably is" or some twaddle like that. The power of the bots changed all that, one can use the market feature or give a value to the game winning chances. It is pretty obvious that blue has about an 80% chance of making the 5 point together with some nice alternative rolls. Based on this I calculate a game winning chance of 70% but gammon chances can muddy the water. A huge double for me and a drop. Is this too good welll mmm, maybe not. There is no sense in taking this cube with an almost certain loss for 2 points or a gammon for 4 points at this early stage in the match. A nice easy start especially if you did not warm up before the start.I am not knowledgeable enough to be aware weather it be a known position or not.
