It's usually best to take a checker off, but there are exceptions.  I don't think this is one.  7/off takes a checker off and leaves no blotting numbers.

7/1 is worth looking at since it leaves us even-ended, but it forces us to leave a shot after 64.

7/off

You wanna run that play by us again ? I see the roll as 5-1, so I don't know how you play 7-off. May I respectfully suggest you meant 7-6, 5-off ? That's certainly my play.
