Money game, white to play 6-5

You have to take chances some times, and here its right to try to get a double shot by staying back.

Wow. More than 0.19 for the other moves!!
I really thought of moving 8/3 8/2 but I was afraid of being hitted.
I know that when being on trail we have to try to hit as much as possible and that is made with 8/2 8/3 but the fear is too big.
I believed that the good move was 17/6 although 8/2 8/3 maximizes the chancs of hitting.
Well, this will show me that sometimes we have to play "double or quits", specially when it is almost sure we are going to lose.

what about the match score? If you win 6-5 ,crawford game, at 7 , would you make the same move? I don't think so.
