Line 8:
:consider each roll, for non-1 rolls, each roll's base value is the minimum of itself and 100-(sum of dice currently rolled). For a roll of 1, the value is -(uncommitted rolls). Average these to get the estimated value of the current possibilities. [Or, of course, if you just want to know if the result is positive, you do not need to divide by 6.] --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
::That said, using philosophy behind "you don't have to be faster than the bear", a strategy which takes into account your opponent's score could be superior -- sometimes playing more conservatively because we know that our opponent doesn't have a good chance of winning. That said, I have not completely convinced myself that this would ever be a good idea -- intuitively, it seems like it could be, but I have not had the time to think it through, yet. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
