24/16*, 11/3* looks like the move that gives the most G-chances. From my vantage point only 3-3 prevents you from doubling opp out next turn. (2-2 and 1-1 leave don't hit and cover the 2-point.) Quite of few of White's rolls leave Blue playing on for the G.

I'm figuring that the matchscore still doesn't give White a take but maybe I should think about that more deeply. There appear to be some other plays that allow Blue to cash regardless of White's roll, but this 4-4 is so strong I try for the undoubled G route myself.

I see that another matchscore consideration is that undoubled G (compared to a cash) only takes Blue from 4-away to 3-away -- usually not all that great of an incentive. But I still try for it anyway.

Summary: 24/16*, 11/3*.
