Assume for the moment a 1/3 chance of a gammon. By altering the position to reflect a blitz, your estimated gammon chance in the original position would be 15/36*1/3% = 13.7%.

With the 5pt made (shown below) the chances of a gammon are higher compared to the starting position. Hence, if you can estimate your chances here, then you should be able to estimate the gammons in example 3.
