This number is just the ratio to average the 'live' vs 'dead' values in my
model. I think I concentrated on longer races when I did this, and it might be
that the cube vigorish starts to climb again for really short races, or that for
"balanced" positions the model does not work very well. I think it need more
looking into.
On your position (25,25 away however) I got (fibs2html cubefull rollout)
1296-Games Equities: Money 0.239
0.0% 0.0% 62.0% 38.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Match win probabilities:
No Double Double/Take Double/Drop
52.46% 51.84% 56.00%
Cube action: No double, take
The 2ply said ND/take too (but barely), 0ply thought Double/Take, so I am
inclined to agree the value of the live cube is underestimated here.
