Race 4-cube I messed up

Blue's TP: 14/50=28%

(Pass: 64% - Take/lose: 50% - Take/win: 100%)

That's a pretty high TP, especially noting that there is no recube vig and blue will have to play the game out with the checkers. So white needs to recube fairly early. Is this early enough?

For white I would see this as a roll-position. 7*7+1= 50 pips.

For blue I would see this as a stack and straggler position. 10*3,5+12=47,5. Because blue has a gap on the deuce and not a real stack, I will add 2 pips to white, bringing his pipcount to 49,5.

It is too far from blue's TP and I would roll. If white is clearly the inferior player, then he should probably recube this since the favourite will hate to play out a position like this for 4 points.
