Betting on backgammon might be enjoyable, especially if you are aware of how to succeed by playing effectively. But sometimes a hint or two might assist you even more and develop you into a better competitor.

One of the better schemes to succeed is to barricade your opposition in. It’ll prevent them from shifting their pieces from your home board. This has to be done at the start of the game to keep your opponents two pieces in your home board. So you have to shift your pieces to points 7, 5, and four as swiftly as as you can and even two and 3 if you can. Keep your point of six with the six pieces where it is. This will guarantee that your opponent can not will not be able to leave your home board and help your odds of locking them in to come out on top.

By barracading your competitor in, they will be hoping for double 6’s as soon as all other moves have been made to get those two checkers from your home board. If doubles aren’t rolled, your opposition will be forced to shift one piece at a time, as long as they get a six or greater, and leave one piece behind and vulnerable. Of course while moving your own checkers, be certain you do not leave 1 abandoned where your challenger can send you off to the bar to make your way through their home board.

When in doubt, hit. This can help you win largely because once your challenger is hit, that piece is the checker they have to move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them numerous times, they’ll have to get numerous pieces back on the board and get past your pieces to win. Make sure you don’t hit where it will cause you to be open to being hit yourself. Except of course when will be advantageous to you, as in early in the game when your opponent will not have you blocked in.

Hitting when you have a block started can also be beneficial due to the fact that once you get a few spots blocked, your opponent will have a harder time moving their checkers from your home board and beating you. It’s even possible to hit them several times and get your barricade setup. That way you will be able to lock them from re-entering the game and even being offered an opportunity at beating you.

These 2 tips aren’t the only strategy to win, but they are great ways for amateurs to grow into more accomplished enthusiasts. When you master these, winning most of the time won’t appear to be such a complex thing to do.
