13/11 leads for game, gammon, backgammon but 24/23's equitie is higher, I dont understand this?

The game result breakdowns that the bot gives you are cubeless, not cubeful. The equities given are cubeful. Since Blue will double on his next turn, cubeless results aren't relevant to what Blue's best play of the 2-1 is. If Blue slots 13/11 6/5, on White's next turn, White will hit, or not hit. If White hits, White will be a small favorite, but Blue will double and White will take. If White does not hit, Blue would be a favorite if he could play these games out, but White will usually drop Blue's double. So Blue does not gain from slotting instead of splitting, since Blue cannot gain from his best sequences (in which White doesn't hit).
