How to use a MET in matchplay

It's been mentioned that the position is 'unique' because it is a 'last roll' situation. Are there any other regularly occurring game states where it's really useful to know and be able to apply MET knowledge?

>> Your doubling window starts at around 90% (100%*56.26/(56.26+6.07)) and closes at around 94%, so you should not cube here with about 86%.
:> You can also calculate directly: you win 31/36 (86.11%) of the matches if you recube and 31/36 * 93.93% + 5/36*56.26% = 88.70% if you don't.

Great explanation Casper - thank you!

Trauma - thanks for flagging the XG question. I'm not sure what is going on with my computer (or maybe a bug transferring GNU ID to XG).

I closed and restarted XG then opened up the position.

This time it had changed it's mind and said I blundered: NoDouble/Take..

Here's a link to the RD/T match file if anyone's interested why this is happening - https://goo.gl/slPbpS

The only difference I can see in the two screenshots is cube analysis looks like 4-ply in RD/T version and XG Roller+ in the ND/T. Scores, positions etc look identical unless I'm missing something.
