Does anyone have a method of estimating extra Gammons after a bold play in positions of this type?

I do not. However, I would begin by estimating the gammon race—estimating the average number of rolls for the opponent to bear off a checker versus the average number of rolls for you to bear everything off—to see if it's close. Putting a checker on the bar against a four-point board should gain about half a roll to a roll, I would guess.
