Even though backgammon is just a game, you
still want to play the best game you can.
We'll give you tips and strategies that will
help you win, especially when you're playing
for real money.
Keep your checkers in pairs to protect them from hits.
Stake out six points in a row to keep
your opponent from progressing. Make sure
not to leave any blots in the row of six!
This is known as forming a prime.
Set up protected points on your opponent’s home board as potential safe places to land if you are hit. These are known as anchors.
Try to capture the 7 and 18 points. These are key points late in the
game, as are the 20 and 5 points.
Start out with small stakes until you are sure of your backgammon strategy.
