Betting on backgammon can be enjoyable, especially if you know how to succeed by playing properly. But once in a while a pointer or two can assist you even more and make you a better competitor.

One of the better schemes to win is to barricade your opposition in. It will prevent them from shifting their pieces from your home board. This has to be done at the start of the game to hold your opponents 2 pieces in your home boardthere. So you need to shift your checkers to points 7, five, and four as rapidly as possible and even two and 3 if achievable. Keep your point of six with the 6 pieces where it is. This will ensure that your competitor can not will not be able to leave your home board and help your odds of blocking them in to come away with a win.

By blocking your opponent in, they will be looking for double sixes when all other moves have been completed to get those two pieces out of your home board. If doubles are not tossed, your opposition will be required to shift 1 piece at a time, as long as they roll a 6 or better, and leave 1 checker behind and vulnerable. Of course while moving your own checkers, ensure you don’t leave 1 abandoned where your challenger can send you off the board to make your way through their side.

When in doubt, hit. This can assist you in winning largely because as soon as your opposition is hit, that checker is the piece they need to move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them numerous times, they will have to get many pieces back on the board and get past your checkers to win. Make sure you don’t hit where it will make you open to getting hit yourself. Except of course when will be beneficial to you, as in early in the game when your competitor won’t have you blocked in.

Hitting when you have a lock started can also be good because once you get several points locked, your opposition will have a difficult time getting their checkers out of your home board and winning. It is even possible to hit them numerous times and get your barricade finished. That way you can block them from re-entering the game board and even being offered a chance at beating you.

These two tips are not the only strategy to win, but they are exceptional ways for beginners to develop into more skillfull players. When you master these, winning most of the time won’t seem to be such a complex thing to do.
