Match Play. Red pleads 5-0 to 11. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

The simple answer is no. White loses a gammon 53% of the time from here. Unless White hits a Red blot in the next two rolls that is precisely what will happen. White must let this go and play from 0-6 down. A take here is beyond optimistic.
