Always seem to be losing

krushert — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 17:11:12 GMT

Boy do I suck at backgammon. It seems that I spend more time on the board or rail than. Always near the end. Half the time I am ahead of in point count, then the opponent nails the lone man that I can’t seem to pull in. I started playing a year ago online (Play65.com) with no instruction from anyone.

Is there really a strategy when you have the dice involved? Or do you just try to make the best combinations with the dice give you? Do I position stones men along the easy to cause havoc to the opponent or do I just race every man home and try to be the first.

Thanks.

Complaint about online backgammon

krushert — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 16:30:03 GMT

I play online backgammon on PLAY65 website during my lunch hour, just about everyday. For those not familiar with the site, when You create a game you put a wager (real $ or fun $) on the game. And when a player joins he can choose to accept those terms or proposes a different wager. Usually the proposed changes are minor. However, there are at times, some players purpose enter extremely high amounts (sometimes hundred $ or more) in hopes that you will play. My complaint is that when multiple acceptances are coming at you, it is very easy to click on one of these jerks accidentally and all of sudden you are playing for money that what you wanted too. I honestly believe these jerks are doing this intentional to get you forfeit the game for either to get the points of the money.

Anyone else having this experience?

...okay - it's the opening roll and you happen to roll 5-6. What's your preferred move on this??

- Now, I'm not sure if this is the BEST move or not, but I like to just immediately turn this into a foot-race with that roll, moving one piece from Space-12 to Space-01.

Hey

eric_c — Fri, 20 Feb 2004 20:36:11 GMT

Just joined & enjoy the game a lot - but I seem to have reached a plateau on what I seem to ALWAYS do whenever certain rolls come up ...is that the limit of things?

Am I now just a victim of the die-roll?

Rabbit — Thu, 13 Nov 2003 08:26:49 GMT

I should know, but, to my shame, I don't; how does the doubling cube work. I need to know 'cause I didn't win the lottery and Mama needs new shoes.

Any acey-ducey players around here?
