Cube action ATS...

For money I believe this is a clear take. Black's four-point board looks scary, but he has only 9 checkers in the zone, and Yellow's blot is tucked away in relative safety on the deep 2pt. Plus, Yellow has made her 5pt and Black's rear checkers are unsplit. Not sure if it's technically a money double but in practice, against most opponents, I would double because I would expect some drops.

The raw take point at this score is significantly lower than for money (slightly under 20% I think) but the gammon value for the trailer is elevated (around 2/3). Not sure but my intuition is D/P at this score because of the gammon risk.
