Under the Gun: See Come Under the Gun.

Undoubled Gammon: This can occur in match play by winning a gammon when the cube has not been turned. The game is worth two points. An undoubled gammon is not allowed in money play due to the Jacoby Rule.

Upside: What you gain if you take a risk and it succeeds. The upside of slotting the 5 pt. early is being able to cover it and own the point if the blot is not hit by your opponent.
