Three containment positions from the same (money) game

In #1, you can add a third builder for the bar point and a fourth checker for 9-10-11 point coverage with 18/12 at the cost of only 4/36 hitting numbers. With that 20/15 blocks 4-4 and 6-6. 15/10 would give you yet another builder, but at the cost of 4/36 more hitting numbers, and not blocking the big doubles.
Blue apparently decided to hit. I think this is wrong, since most of White's nubmers enter, and most of them also cover or escape. Among them, for instance, I think White should be happy to roll 3*-4 or 3*-6, despite the ace point blot.
In #2, bar/19 is forced, 13/7(2) makes a strong 5-prime, and for the 4th six I would play 18/12.
In #3, only some plays that expose you to a lot of indirects, like 14/10 11/9 and 14/10 14/12, add a third builder for the bar point, and you have one too many checkers on your 21 point. 21/15 gives you three direct covers for the 9, 10, 12 and 13 points.
