WHAT HAS BEEN ROLLED OUT
Best Opening Plays
 The
first roll of the dice and first play of the game.
45 Opening plays have been rolled out to arrive at the
15 Best Opening Plays for money and match. This provided
Snowie with the statistics needed from which to determine
the best match plays. This is quite a lot of plays as
3-1, 4-2, 6-1, 5-3 & 6-5 were single roll outs which
were done primarily for statistics. The Rollout Tables
(results) are in a format identical to Snowie’s.
Best Reply Plays The
second roll of the dice and second play of the game.
Each of the 45 openings in the book lists the 21 reply
rolls. By each Reply roll is listed the best reply plays
for money and match. These were determined from more
than 3000 rollouts.
