Poll
18/10 is best when Chris fails to shake a five. 7/1 5/3 is best when he does.
After 18/10 we are very likely to cover and then win a gammon. Lifting doesn't guarantee a win if he enters. I'll make the bold play.
18/10.

The Herd plough on towards that gammon, and are rewarded by the evil GNU with the only deuce that doesn't close their board. I'll let you argue over the merits of picking up the blot versus the all-out gammon charge, while I go and play a day of 7-pointers at the Mind Sports Olympiad...

Leaving the 5pt slotted turns a red five from an inconvenience to a disaster!
