White certainly can win this but with the 6-point open, not with many gammons. I've always wanted to build+memorize a table of "probability A rolls N x's before B rolls M y's" but I only have one entry so far and this position doesn't fit. Still, Blue needs a single six before White rolls two 5's, and if neither does it for a while Blue gets even more entering spots... That's WAY in Blue's favor.

I pass as White. And I can't imagine this as being TG. (Take a look at fan + 5-x.)

R+P.
