XGRoller++ said: 7/2* 5/2 +1,310; 19/14 5/2* -0,042; 6/1 5/2* -0,132; 19/14 6/3 -0210; 19/16 6/1 -0,213. I was astonished. Not long ago i read: “Rule #1: Don’t break the 6-prime! This rule is crucial. The 6-prime has eliminated any danger of losing a gammon, and once you break it you’ve turned the gammon danger back on. ... Rule #2: Slot and cover. This is the basic game plan once you have six points in a row. Slot the front of the prime with a spare, then bring up more spares and cover, while keeping the full prime intact. Repeat the process until you’ve moved the whole prime home. ...”
This was said to a position, where no gammons were to win, but to loose, because the man was captured during the bearoff. Here it was quite a litttle bit different. But, -0,042, i couldn’t believe. Backed up by a former twotime world champion, i rolled the first to moves out to conclusion. The result was thinner as carpaccio. OtB i would hit and slot the edge of the prime again as in the match, where i wanted to win for sure, not paying to the joker.
