66 isn't always a good roll, even when all four play

White is up 40 pips in the race and has plenty of slime equity. He can stand being hit once and still win the race, and he only has two checkers killed, though 4 are out of play. So it seems like a clear take to me. Double because if White leaves a shot anytime soon and Blue hits he probably loses his market (maybe he loses his market just looking at a shot), and some people will drop this. Blue can't really lose his market by rolling well, but he can by White rolling poorly--64 is a huge market loser.
