    The table below summarizes the preferred moves for each of the 15 possible opening rolls, as selected by detailed computer simulations, referred to as "rollouts". [3]The first column is the move that the rollout says gives the most equity (i.e. the average profit or loss that one would net, per game, by playing the position to conclusion an infinite number of times).

    A very common notation, considered a standard, expresses a dice roll as nds or nDs, where n is the number of dice rolled and s is the number of sides on each die; if only one die is rolled, n is normally not shown. For example, d4 denotes one four-sided die; 6d8 means the player should roll six eight-sided dice and sum the results.

    For instance, 4d6−L means a roll of 4 six-sided dice, dropping the lowest result. This application skews the probability curve towards the higher numbers, as a result a roll of 3 can only occur when all four dice come up 1 (probability ⁠ 1 / 1,296 ⁠), while a roll of 18 results if any three dice are 6 (probability ⁠ 21 / 1,296 ...

    Computer programs usually play rollouts where the number of games is a multiple of 36, and ensure that the first dice roll is uniformly distributed. That is, 1/36 of the played games will start with a roll of 1-1, another 36th will start with 1-2, and so on. A common length for a rollout is 36x36 = 1296, in which each possible combination is ...

Game conditions can influence the strength numbers used to calculate the ratio in the form of doubling or halving each of them, in addition to column shifts that can occur due to terrain ...
