Bearing off in the Silicon Valley Open

How does white win? Either she rolls unanswered doubles or blue shakes a couple of aces or a couple of deuces. I think either are common enough that white can take (and then rewhip for the match)

market losers? It looks like any roll other than one of the 11/36 rolls where blue fails to bear off two followed by non-doubles for white is a market loser. (Maybe blue has already lost his market.) So I'd cube for the match.

My race formula is to subtract two pips from blue's tally for the extra checker off, and add four to white's for the spares on the ace for an even 16-16. The point of last take for white (for money) is then one pip down. This doesn't reflect the match score, but gives me some confidence that cubing is not entirely wrong.
