Match Play. Red trails 0-3 to 5. How should Red play 55?

For money the correct play would be 20/10(2)*. At this score a gammon would get Red to the Crawford Game with his opponent on an odd score. Therefore. it is worth trying for the gammon with 20/10*, 8/3(2).

The extra 4% of gammons are worth the risk. The safer play is a small error.
