White on roll, cube action?

The good rolls for white send a second checker back behind a four prime and the "bad" rolls allow him to safety his blot on the 14 and have a very good position. Picking up another blot or extending the prime look like market losers, so doubling now would seem correct.

The main argument against doubling is the pip deficit - one good escaping sequence for black and it's over.

I'd still double. White is way behind in the match so my cube finger would be itchy. I'd take as black - a four point board plus a 25 pip lead has to be worth something.
