Backgammon Gambling Tricks

[ English ]

Playing backgammon might be entertaining, especially if you know how to succeed by playing effectively. But occasionally a pointer or two can assist you even more and make you a more accomplished competitor.

One of the better strategies to win is to lock your opposing player in. It will keep them from shifting their pieces away from your home board. This has to be completed at the start of the match to hold your competitors 2 checkers in your home boardthere. So you have to move your pieces to points seven, 5, and 4 as fast as possible and even 2 and three if you can. Keep your point of six with the six checkers where it is. This will guarantee that your challenger cannot get out of your home board and help your chances of blocking them in to win.

By locking your competitor in, they’ll be hoping for double sixes when all other moves have been made to get those 2 checkers from your home board. If doubles aren’t rolled, your opponent will be compelled to shift one piece at a time, as long as they roll a six or greater, and leave 1 checker behind and vulnerable. Of course in the process of moving your own checkers, be certain you don’t leave one alone where your opposition can send you off the board to make your way through their side.

When in doubt, hit. This can help you win because as soon as your opponent is hit, that checker is the piece they must move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them several times, they will have to return many pieces back to the board and get past your checkers to win. Be certain you don’t hit where it will make you vulnerable to being hit yourself. Except of course when will be beneficial to you, like early on in the game when your opposition won’t have you blocked in.

Hitting when you have a barricade started can also be good due to the fact that as soon as you get a few spots barricaded, your challenger will have a harder time moving their pieces away from your home board and winning. It’s even possible to hit them a number of times and get your barricade ready. That way you will be able to barricade them from re-entering the game and even having a chance at beating you.

These 2 pointers aren’t the only tactic to win, but they’re excellent ideas for novices to develop into more skillfull players. When you master these, being victorious most of the time won’t seem like such a demanding thing to do.
