I have not a clue about this double 4s

The first candidate is 8/4(2) 6/2*(2) to give Black 16 dancing rolls, but I think it's too risky to let Black enter with a 5 and have no way to hit back. Our outfield coverage isn't adequate.

Now what about 6/2*(2) plus two other 4's on the other side of the board? This does gives Black 9 dancing rolls that are good for us, plus 51 which exposes another blot. But Black already has 9 "dancing" rolls (combinations of 6, 4, and 1) that leave the back checker frozen, plus 31 and 51 which expose another blot. So this approach doesn't do anything for us.

Making the 4pt at the cost of breaking the 8pt also doesn't accomplish anything.

So we're left with trying to flood the outfield. The best way to do this looks like a difficult decision. I'd like at least a single direct shot if Black jumps out to the 9pt, so how about 19/15. We need to unstack our 24pt, so 24/20. We can't block 55. So 24/16 seems to create the most outfield coverage without leaving any shots except 55.
