Try the old Keith count again see how it fares:

Blue's Keith Count
Initial Count = 62
2+2 for wastage = 4
62 + 4 = 66/7 = 9
66 + 9 = 75

White's Keith Count
Initial Count = 64
4+1+2+1 for wasteage = 8
64+6=72

• A player should double if his count exceeds the opponent’s count by no more than 4.
• A player should redouble if his count exceeds the opponent’s count by no more than 3.
• The opponent should take if the doubler’s count exceeds the opponent’s count by at least 2.

Proper Cube Action: Double, Take
