XG doubled me in the below position.
Obviously this is an easy take, and I didn't actually believe the double.
So I took Xavier to court, and showed the rollout to the presiding judge.

Who won the court case?

I don't think I would double here, although I can believe that XG would
say that it's a borderline double because of the match score.

It is indeed a marginal double. (See below). The main reason I expected
the hold was that I didn't realise how good XG's position was.
If I knew that XG's equity was above 0.65, I wouldn't have been surprised
because there is a fair amount of volatility.
