Money Play. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

It might seem premature to double here but that loose White checker on Red’s 11-pt will generate a lot of gammons. In fact, more than half of Red’s wins are gammons.

The position is very volatile so Red is justified in doubling now. Not to do so is a bad error. Of course, White has a very trivial take.
