Wagering on backgammon could be enjoyable, especially if you are aware of how to succeed by playing properly. But once in a while a tip or two can assist you even more and develop you into a more accomplished competitor.

One of the better schemes to win is to lock your opposing player in. It will prevent them from shifting their pieces away from your home board. This has to be done early in the game to keep your competitors two pieces in your home board. So you have to shift your pieces to points 7, 5, and four as rapidly as possible and even two and 3 if achievable. Maintain your point of 6 with the six pieces as it is. This will ensure that your challenger can not get out of your home board and help your chances of blocking them in to win.

By barracading your opposition in, they will be hoping for double 6’s once all other moves have been made to get those two pieces away from your home board. If doubles aren’t tossed, your opponent will be compelled to shift one checker at a time, as long as they roll a six or better, and leave one checker behind and vulnerable. Of course in the process of moving your own pieces, make sure you don’t leave 1 alone where your opposition can send you off to the bar to go through their side.

When in doubt, hit. This can assist you in winning largely because once your challenger is hit, that checker is the checker they need to move before they can do anything else on the board. So if you hit them several times, they will have to return several checkers back to the board and get past your pieces to succeed. Be certain you do not hit where it will cause you to be open to getting hit yourself. Unless of course it will be beneficial to you, as in early on in the game when your opponent won’t have you blocked in.

Landing a hit when you have a block started can also be beneficial because once you get several spots barricaded, your challenger will have a difficult time moving their pieces away from your home board and defeating you. It’s even possible to hit them numerous times and get your block setup. That way you will be able to prevent them from returning to the game board and even having an opportunity at defeating you.

These two tips are not the only tactic to win, but they’re exceptional ways for beginners to become more accomplished enthusiasts. When you conquer these, being victorious most of the time will not seem to be such a demanding thing to do.
