Money Play. Should Red redouble? If redoubled, should White take?
To calculate this cube decision accurately you need to understand Effective Pip Counts. You can download my paper “Backgammon Races’ from this website to get information on EPCs.
From Walter Trice’s formulae Red’s EPC is approximately 40 and White’s is 42.5 indicating redouble and take. In fact, the rollouts show it only just a redouble and a trivial take.
