'2) When you missed a double and the essentially same situation repeats, it means that the dice have given you back the lost equity. That luck should be taken into account. If you get the same equity by being lucky, you should be penalized error-rate-wise.'

Interesting hypothesis. In Matt's position I gave away equity on each non-doubling roll and my dice gave it back to me. Hmm, dancing is the worst thing I can do on my shake and my dice are creating equity for me by dancing. To check this I ran it on GNU with each side dancing ten times. GNU said I gave up 96% MWC by not doubling but guess what, it said the luck was even. Where does the return of equity come from, if not from luck? It does not come from anywhere, it was never lost. You can never lose more MWC than your largest error during each state of the cube.
