In Response To: Nackgammon MET (Bob Koca)

With regards to the question why the actual gammons won by the trailer at gammon-go should be higher than in cash games, I am thinking:
1. The trailer doesn't fear losing a gammon. One recalls that per definition the gammon value is the ratio of net value of gammons to the net value of single games. In the context of single games, we seldom use the adjective "net" single games, but do understand implicitly that losing one game more decreases the "net" single games by 2.

2. Yes, the one away player tries to avoid gammons as hard as the other guy pushes for them. However, it is a fact that the situations where it is worth it to go for the gammon at a gammon rate of 1/2 build a subset of the same situations with a gammon rate of 1.

3. I would like to see the rollout Neil Kazaross and David Rockwell did at 2a-1a Crawford. My number of %14.5 gammons at gammon go assumes that each player wins %50 of the times.
x+(50-x)/2=32.264 ---> x~14.5
Meanwhile I am not quite sure about that because again the trailer has no fear of losing gammons so maybe he also wins more games in total?
