A first-to-100 match becomes easier when divided into stages with a default 15-point banking target.

Start with 15 points

Below 10 points, normally roll. From 10 to 14, check the scoreboard. At 15 or more, normally bank.

Opening stage

Aim to reach 30 through two productive turns rather than one spectacular risk.

Use the lead

Bank earlier when ahead, stay near the target when level and consider a longer turn when far behind.

Calculate the exact finish

At 87 banked points, the current target is 13. Bank as soon as the turn reaches the amount needed for 100.

Do not roll past a win

Another roll adds risk without strategic value.
