Suppose you have access to an idealised perfect money player (XG with
no weaknesses perhaps). XG (or someone acting on behalf of XG) is
entitled to select any position at all. XG and you will play the position from both sides, so the theoretical equity is zero.
The current cube value is defined to be 1, but it might not be centred.
How much would XG have to pay you upfront to take this prop?

Presumably, though, the dice are not duplicated.

interpretation that made some sense. Let me check my interpretation.
"Idealised perfect money player" and "XG with no weaknesses" and "XG"
are all synonymous in the above.
"Access to" doesn't mean that you can consult the idealised perfect
money player when making your decisions. It just means that the
idealised perfect money player has deigned to grant you an audience,
and offered to play you under certain circumstances.
You're going to play "duplicate backgammon," meaning that two copies
of the board will be set up, with sides reversed, and you'll play out
both games. Presumably, though, the dice are not duplicated. But you
didn't specify whether you can learn from watching your opponent play. Suppose that the first roll of the dice is the same on both boards.
Can you wait to see how XG plays the dice and imitate the play on the
other board?
