Value of cube ownership vs. value of cancel ownership

ah_clem said: c) From the rules: "A player may double immediately after the opponent uses their cancel, before re-rolling." It would be interesting to see an example where the player using their cancel changes the cube action from hold to double.

This is very interesting indeed. I don't have any examples to offer but I would guess that it would happen quite often.

This becomes a question of value of cube ownership vs. value of cancel ownership. In effect you would be giving a cube with "discounted/partial ownership value", while holding a deterrent against getting cubed back.

So, the question is: will canceling a lucky roll really reduce luck in gamblegammon? or how often (than not) will it backfire to end up augmenting luck instead?
