Blue is a game favorite and many of his wins will be gammons. But white wins this a bunch and the take looks trivial. So is it a double?

There are 6 immediate market losers: 16 34 36.

If one of those does not happen, then either the position repeats or blue enters but does not leap. There is then huge volatility on every roll. Blue will either leap and lose market huge or fail to leap. There will simply be no chance to creep closer to an efficient double in this position. Now is as good as it gets because blue must eventually enter and doing so without escaping is a poor outcome. White has access to the cube, so the game will end if we fail to perform soon with or without having doubled. The net of it is that blue has a current advantage and a few immediate market losers and this is as good as it gets in terms of chance to double whatever equity advantage there is.

And white may always suprise us and pass.
