Well?  Double or hold?

Will be interesting to see some bot results later of what's happening  :)

I think the Herd made a blunder with its 8/4*, breaking a valuable point, adding yet another blot to its collection and increasing my shot numbers and double shot numbers by a big amount. 7/3 looks like a much more prudent move.

The role of the cube in this decision is not quite clear to me, but I donn't see this being too good for me, had 7/3 been played.

With all those blots and (double) direct shots dangling around after the actual 8/4* I'm gonna give the gammon a go and play on. There is some risk involved: 4 dancing numbers and a couple of nothing rolls, but it seems compensated for by all the hitting numbers (I lost count).

No cube, and the roll is 2-1.

Indeed.  I'm holding off on all rollouts until the cube decision has passed.  That said, I've seen enough of a glimpse of the bot results that I'm going to have to recuse myself from the cube decision, assuming we get to one.

BTW, this is my one thousandth post on fibsboard.  Don't I get a cake or something?

you are now "advanced!" regardez l'icon .....

One of the few "nothing" rolls... B/22, I think I can afford to split with the Herd's spotty offense.
