If one is good with roll odds this is a walk in the park. OTB an instant double a pause to calculate a drop. Blue has 16 bad rolls white has 14 rolls to hit.

16/36 X 14/36 X 100 = 17.28% whites chance of winning

After the roll count do it in your head 16/36 = 45% 14/36=39%

45 X 4 =18% Cant be bad just multiply the %'s

To convert these fractions to a % takes 5 nano seconds ,Ok I'm prone to exageration lets say 20 nano seconds lol. If anyone has an interest in knowing how just let me know.
