Betting on backgammon can be exciting, especially if you know how to succeed by playing effectively. But occasionally a tip or two can help you even more and make you a better competitor.
One of the greatest game plans to win is to barricade your opponent in. It will keep them from advancing their checkers from your home board. This must be accomplished at the start of the match to hold your competitors 2 pieces in your home board. So you have to shift your pieces to points seven, five, and four as swiftly as possible and even 2 and three if you can. Keep your point of six with the 6 checkers as it is. This will guarantee that your opposition can’t will not be able to leave your home board and help your chances of locking them in to come away with a win.
By barracading your competitor in, they will be looking for double sixes as soon as all other options have been made to get those two pieces from your home board. If doubles are not tossed, your challenger will be forced to shift one piece at a time, as long as they roll a 6 or greater, and leave 1 piece vulnerable behind. Of course in the process of veering off your own pieces, be certain you do not leave one by itself where your challenger can send you off the board to make your way through their home board.
When in doubt, hit. This can assist you in winning largely because once your challenger is hit, that piece is the piece they must move before they can do anything else on the board. So if you hit them multiple times, they’ll have to get numerous pieces back on the board and get around your checkers to win. Be certain you do not hit where it’ll make you open to being hit yourself. Unless of course it will be advantageous to you, as in early on in the game when your opponent won’t have you blocked in.
Hitting when you have a block started can also be good due to the fact that once you get several points barricaded, your challenger will have a difficult time moving their checkers away from your home board and winning. It’s even possible to hit them several times and get your block set. That way you will be able to block them from re-entering the game and even having an opportunity at defeating you.
These 2 tricks aren’t the only strategy to succeed, but they are great ways for novices to develop into better players. Once you conquer these, being victorious most of the time certainly won’t seem like such a demanding thing to do.
