Cube Action For Money

What's about to happen here? Blue has no immediate rolls that force him to leave a shot, and I'm not even seeing any awkward rolls. 64 and 44 are probably the most awkward, and they play reasonably well. OTOH, White will either have to start tearing up the board or run out with a checker. Four rolls allow her to escape cleanly but everything else deteriorates her position.

On the cube/roll side, I'm seeing a bunch of market losers and only 66 and 55 for white that's truly bad for blue. So, I'll ship it.

As for the take, I think the combination of shot equity and race equity add up to a take. I'm seeing many variations where blue puts white on the bar with white holding a full board and this gives white a sporting chance. Or blue simply clears the eight point with small numbers and white jumps out with a large roll giving an even race.
