In Response To: Introducing another (yawn) variation: BARTERGAMMON (Phil Simborg)

Okay, I am playing Bartergammon and my opponent rolls a 6-5. We are playing for $10 a point and the cube is on 2.

How much should I be willing to pay him to roll over?

Of course I know if he rolls over he will win 10/36 of the time, so what is the highest number I should be willing to pay to make him roll over?

		White is Player 1 score: 0 pip: 2 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 9 score: 0 Blue is Player 2

Blue to play 56
