User Comments:

9/6/2014 4:14 PM, FritzBlitz: The hit 8/5* is pretty straight forward. Then there are 2 reasonable possibilities for the 6: 24/18 and 13/7. If you play 24/18 you get hit back with every roll of black except 66 and 33. Moving the 6 this way also gives a lot of return shots but keeps at least one of the 2 key points (5 and 7) slotted most of the time. This means your board will most likely improve in your next roll
