Like last time, blue wins a gammon almost all the time he manages to clear without being hit.

4/3*(4) leaves an immediate shot, so that's out.

5/3*(2) also leaves an immediate shot, so that's out too.

As Neil astutely pointed out, 5/4(4) encourages white to blot on the deuce to give bad twos.

That seems to leave 5/3* 4/3 1/off as the remaining alternative. It leaves blue odd-ended, forcing a blot after a roll of 65, but that seems like fewer shots than the 8 bad twos after white abandons the deuce point anchor.

5/3* 4/3 1/off
