Tips and Strategies for Backgammon  
 
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.
