Money game cube action

Looks like a monster double (or redouble) and a pretty easy pass. It's certainly too optimistic to roll on for the gammon (only relevant if no Jacoby), especially as I can imagine some players taking this.

White has 9 bury/cracking or anchor-breaking numbers (43 42 32 33 22 11) if Blue fans or enters with a 6, and if Blue hits with a 4, White's equity must be dismal indeed.

I agree with Rich that if White had her 21pt checker sprung, say with a 4, 5 or 6, that would give White a clear take. It's a lot more than just the elimination/reduction of her cracking numbers; it's that White would have more ways to cover her 4pt blot or get in range of the open 6pt or make a point in one of the outer boards in one or two rolls, and if she gets hit with a 4 she can immediately cover the outfield anchor or at least establish some partial outfield control.
