Rollout

This theme also comes up after double ones that result in making the 5 and hitting on the 4 versus pointing on the 4 without a slot.

The differences of (a) two-vs-one on the roof instead of one-vs-one, (b) slotted 4pt vs 1pt instead of slotted 4pt vs no slot, (c) one to two extra checkers in the zone, and (d) White's owning her 11pt, might also have a role in the comparison :) But you're right that the theme is similar.

Regarding the early double 1s scenario specifically: In the 70s, some experts played H (Hitting loose on the 4pt) instead of P (Pointing on the 4pt).

The friendliest score for H is DMP. Here is some second roll data that might interest you (Gnu unless otherwise stated):

43Z-11 m[P H17 ] 25k, Snowie m[P H26] 15k
43Z-11 d[H P1.7] 31k
43Z-11 g[P H7.5] 10k

32S-11 - - - - - - - - - - Snowie m[P H42] 5k
32S-11 d[P H5.5] 21k
32S-11 g[P H6.2] 20k

The "m" (usually omitted) before the brackets means money, the "d" means DMP, and the "g" means gammon go. I'll assume you understand the rest (from seeing other posts) unless you ask.

As you can see, the only hit-loose play that squeaks by is 43Z-11H at DMP.

Here is a third roll position where hitting loose seemingly beats pointing for money, though by very little. It falls short by a whisker at GG (which is the only score at which opening 62$ should be played), though that could easily be reversed in an extension.

62$-32S-11 m[x X6.5] 10k, Snowie m[x X1] 31k
62$-32S-11 g[X x0.6] 10k

Key: x = 24/23 6/5(2) 6/4*, X = 24/23 6/4*(2).
