Market loss on the PoH rolls, and the hit/no-hit/cover parlays where Blue gets the 6 point, leaving White with a poorly timed ace-deuce backgame. But when Blue hits and White hits back, it can get ugly in a hurry for Blue. Depending on the details, White might get the anchor on the 6 point and so have an odd-looking but very viable holding game, or even start Hoovering up additional blots and start thinking about winning a gammon instead of losing one.
And we haven't even discussed 21, 62 and 66, that don't allow Blue to hit. These rolls also make White a favorite to find his feet, even though he won't have won the game yet. I'm seeing enough going on here for White to take, especially since the bad ace-deuce game he may end up with would of course be a dead drop on its own, but it's not unwinnable if that's where he ends up.
Blue's threat is large and immediate, so I'd redouble here, but I'd also take as White and hope that 20 or so moves from now, I've got enough to make it 8. RD/T
