Cube action at the score?

I don't know the takepoint for 4a 8a, but if white takes here she will have an automatic rewhip to 8. So, I wouldn't recube here unless I was pretty confident of winning, which is to say not until it's a cash.

Since I'm not sure it's a take or not, Woolsey's law would say it's a recube, but in this case I'm not going to follow it.

ND/T

Doing the math, take/win gets white 100%, while take/lose gets white 0%, and pass gets white to 8a 2a which is 12.5%. So, taking risks 12.5 to gain 87.5 and risk/(risk+gain) = 12.5/100 -> a takepoint of 12.5

Does white have that here? Looks like it. It might be close enough to recube, but I still wouldn't.
