More wins or more gammons?

In Response To: More wins or more gammons? (christian munk-christensen)

What's the rule at money games? If a move wins more gammons but also loses more games, choose the move if its gammon increase percentage is twice its loss increase percentage. One may wish to be even more aggressive because a gammon wins the match. Nevertheless, I run.

This guy does not even have an anchor. He will be very lucky to establish a high anchor. I am not convinced that I am losing enough gammons to not solidify my winning chances by running.

However, as usual with the very challenging BGO problems, I am not confident in my answer. Yet, I do not believe either play is a blunder.
