XG Cubeless More Questions

In Response To: XG Cubeless Numbers Question (mamabear)

Chris Yep just informed me that when Jacoby is in use (it was with the rollouts in question) XG reports the cubeless equity as simply the wins vs. the losses. He also found a discussion from October 2002 at the GNU-BG site where it was decided that since Jacoby is a convention involving the cube, and it's unlikely there will be many simple wins that would have been gammons had it not been in use, there is no reason to report the cubeless equity that way rather than the standard way. GNU now calculates cubeless equity the normal way regardless of whether Jacoby is in use or not.

Next question: Does XG do anything with that Jacoby cubeless equity number further downstream in the reporting? Is it used in any way to get the cubeful equity that is reported? The help file seems to suggest that it is, but the use of Janowski suggests that it's actually not.

And here's the one neither of us can answer: What happens if you check the box to have it roll the position out both for doubled and not doubled? In practical terms, how will your reported results differ if you check that box?
