Make money playing backgammon online

Written by  Eva S. Flint
Thursday, February 09, 2006



There are many games sites spread around the internet, where you can pay to play or as a free form of entertainment. Some of the available sites allow you to play chess, checkers, solitaire, or backgammon.

When playing backgammon online, you can choose to play against a human competitor or if you don’t feel like dealing with a real person, the computer is also equipped to play backgammon online.

There are plenty of websites to go to when you are in the mood for a game of backgammon, where you can even choose the option to play for real money or just achieve rankings for free.

Here are some tips that will help you improve your Backgammon skills:

If you are already substantially behind in the race it may not hurt your chances to fall further behind. When you are way behind in the race it may actually improve your timing to be hit again giving you a better backgame or avoid crunching your board.

When in doubt, hit. Hitting takes precedence in most situations, especially on your opponent’s side of the board when it makes a bigger difference in the race.

Always slot to extend primes, especially 6pt primes since you have less checkers to work with. The exception would be when you risk being put behind a prime yourself.

When trying to save a gammon, always bear into the 6pt, and make crossovers whenever possible. On last roll situations, make the play which allows you to save gammon the most often.

If you have a choice between hitting a checker on your opponents side of the board or make a point on your own side, it is usually better to hit.

The list of Internet sites to choose from when you wish to play backgammon online is endless. 247-backgammon is a website that includes reviews on many online backgammon sites.
