If we're going to be pushing the mathematical limits here then it's important to be precise. Are we really interested in a money-game position that is a take and that has the lowest cubeless probability of winning? The optimal checker play in a cubeless game may differ from the optimal checker play in a money game. It seems odd to compare money-game positions according to the probability of winning if the checkers are played without a cube. I would think that one would want to define "game winning chances" for a money game as the probability of winning the game if the rest of the game is played optimally for money.
