| White to play 3-2. |
Apart from the fact that you aren’t happy with that roll, you have two ways to play it. You can play it so you’ll be left with men on the four and one points, or on the three and two points.
If you leave them on the four and one points, you will be able to win the game at your next throw unless you roll 3-2, 3-1, 2-1, or double 1. In other words, you have seven bad rolls and twenty-nine good ones.
On the other hand, if you leave them on the three and two points, you won’t get off with any roll that includes a 1. There are eleven of these bad rolls as against twenty-five good ones — so you clearly want to move your men to the four and one points.
