The double looks clear, since it's not hard at all to see how Blue can lose his market, assuming he hasn't already done so. It's also not hard to see how this could turn around, but when it goes bad for White, it can go seriously bad and he gets gammoned despite having that high anchor. And on a related note, he's far enough behind that he's almost completely dependent on hitting a shot to win, but Blue's made bar point makes that less likely to happen. It doesn't help either that even after Blue rolls a dumb number like 61 and White hits, White isn't assured of a win with the recube, because Blue still has some "life after death" from the bar in most cases.

Looks like this one has too many knocks against it without enough compensation, so I pass.
