Naturally it is no problem to show the position, but as I said, it is
completely unimportant whether my decision was wrong or right.

What is important is the difference in the size of errors from (-0.007)
to (-0.115) when *everything* in the percentages is improved:

 
Cube analysis

   72.5%   0.0%   0.0% -  27.5%   9.7%   0.9%

3. Double, take         +0.671  ( -0.007)
                                ^^^^^^^^^


Rollout cubeless equity  +0.369 (Money:  +0.362)
3. Double, take         +0.747  ( -0.115)

Player MartinKrainer owns 4-cube:
   74.0%   0.0%   0.0% -  26.0%   8.8%   0.9% CL  +0.847 CF  +0.747
   ^^^^^                          ^^^^

If my winning percentages according to the rollout *improved* from 72.5%
to 73% or 74% then why did the size of the error *worsen* from -0.007 to
-0.115 ?? That is what I want to understand. Mind you I also get
gammoned less in the rollouts.
