In Response To: OTB & RO (John O'Hagan)

The formula is D squared/S where D is the difference between the 2 pip counts and S is their sum. You first subtract 4 from the side on roll before figuring D and S. So that becomes 361/93, a little less than 4. A Kleinman ratio of 4.0 translates to the favorite having 92%. So I would have slightly over 8% in a pip v pip race.

Imo the biggest problem is not about the Take which using Kleinman can be calculated with some relevant confidence, but whether to ReDouble. Would you for example ReDouble as Blue if one of the two checkers currently at the 2point were on the 3point? In that case Kleinman would deliver about 9.5% for White. Please explain how would you figure that out.
