I've heard some players say "I want to wait until I have a big advantage, maybe I'll get my opponent to drop." But this can't be right. Consider this.

Suppose you reach a point where you are even 90% likely to win the game! Say you double and your opponent drops. The score is now 2-2 and you have a 50% chance to win the match. But suppose you had already doubled. You now have a 90% chance to win the match, because this game decides it!

There is another situation where this concept comes into play. Suppose you are trailing 1-0 in a match to 3 and your opponent doubles. Let's say you decide to take. Redouble right away! If you lose the game you lose the match, so why not set yourself up to win the match? ]]> http://www.new-online-backgammon.com/?entry=entry051211-220529 monson_77@yahoo.com Sun, 11 Dec 2005 20:05:29 GMT http://www.new-online-backgammon.com/index.php?entry=entry051208-105115 "Backgammon may have been around for 5000 years or so but its the latest craze to sweep the online gambling world.

The first tournament I attended was the beginners flight in the 1995 Copenhagen Open. With 9 of 11 possible points I won the flight and at that point I was forever hooked on backgammon.

In the following years I attended a lot of tournaments with sparse results. I managed to get my error rates quite low and tried to go pro in 2002. It went quite well but my company got a contract which made it hard to further pursue my backgammon career. "
