It is a money game, white is on roll, what is the proper cube action?






As you can see below, Snowie says this is not a double. But I did double, and got 4 drops. There is a great rule of thumb: if you are not sure if it is a double or not, you are better off doubling. If you don't double, there is no way your opponent can make a mistake, but if you do double, he might make a mistake either taking or dropping. I can understand why lots of players would think this is a drop. I wasn't sure it was a double, but I was sure that my opponents would not like to see this cube coming there way, so I shipped it to them.
