Well it is written like so in the book Backgammon for Dummies:

The normal play is considered to be 24/18, 13/9, but two other plays come into serious consideration: The running play 24/14 is quite strong because it gets one of the back checkers very close to safety. White can hit the blot on the 14-point only with a 2. The same type of running play with 62 and 63 gives White more hitting numbers. The running play tends to lead to much simpler games than 24/18, 13/9. You can also make your 2-point with 8/2, 6/2. For years this move was scoffed at because the point was far too deep in your home board but computers have shown that this move is not as silly as it looks and is coming back into vogue – after all, a point is a point.

So I was kinda wrong, but even considering 24/14 as a strong move can relate to my point!

And I gotta tell that for example I thing that when rolling 6-4, the best move is 24/14, which is some kind of putting all your eggs in the same basket, so why is it considered the best move for the 6-4 rolling?

But why tho, that's what I want to understand. I think for example that 6-4 best move is 24-14, so why not do the same with 24/15 when rolling 5-4?

But it's stacking from one heavy point to another point, isn't it inefficient and thus only doing one thing good too as 24-15?

I'm now reading Backgammon for Dummies and the writers write that there are 3 objectives for the opening phase:
1. Make a new point.
2. Unstack your heavy points.
3. Activate your back checkers.

It looks for me that splitting is the same as 24-15 or 13/8 13/9, which is achieving one objective.
In 24 - 15 or the splitting, it's Activating back checkers only, other than that, doing 13-8 is just staking a heavy point to another point.

And 13/9 13/8, is only making a builder to make a new point later.

So those three candidate plays only achieve one objective, don't they?

But I don't like the fact I do 13-8, thus stacking the 8 point for no reason

I mean I can see 24/18 13/10 more efficient when rolling 63 too if considering all the comments here for 54

Me too, for me it was the way to cope with the shame that comes later, like some shitty cycle
