| White to play 5-1. |
If you break from the six point and black fails to enter and you roll double 6, double 5, double 4, 6-5, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2, 5-4, 5-3, or 5-2 (a total of seventeen rolls), you will have to leave a blot.
The correct play is to break from the five point. In this position you will have to leave a blot only if you roll double 6, double 5, double 4, 6-1, or 5-1 (a total of only seven bad rolls).
