Backgammon whoring
a schwag affiliate has a new backgammon site listed. $50 worth of schwag for $50 wagered in backgammon, or something like that.
I haven't played backgammon in years, and even back then I sucked. I would think that bots would be a big problem in backgammon, given that (I think) there is an optimal solution to most moves, similar to chess. I love my whoring, and gambling, so I would give it a shot...but should bots or other cheating mechanisms keep me away? |

[/ QUOTE ] In the bloomberg wire at the begginning of the week the ceo of Empire Online, Ltd (empire poker) stated they will be launching backgammon for real money. He did not say if it will be on Empire but im sure it will pop up on their acquisistions like noble poker...just a guess. |

If you go to Empire's webpage there is a tiny link at the bottom that says "backgammon." The link takes you to 65.com, their new backgammon site. |

Re: Backgammon whoring
Backgammon is an interesting look at the future of bots, as often bots are allowed as long as they're honest about it. You can quite easily go to Games Grid and play some of the best bots in the world for actual money if you want to.
Whether this keeps down a bot-pretending-to-be-user problem I don't know. I'd like a linky; I could use some good bg whoring. |

I tried signing up at Gammon Empire and wasn't allowed. Said I couldn't sign up since I lived in Florida.

Re: Backgammon whoring
I played some backgammon free rolls, it was fun.
My brother plays alot for real money online. He reports no problems with bots. He is a very good money player, but he says most of the good players online are somewhat better than he is on the average. He said he still enjoys it though because it sharpens his game so he can crush his real life opponents later on. He plays for as much as 100 per point in live play. But I think he says he won't play for more than 10 a point online. I'm seriously going to clear that comp bonus on backgammon myself. |

Re: Backgammon whoring
I am also interested in this.
I was hoping someone could recommend a few strategy pages. I'll take anything - if its a good guide for beginners, great, because that's what I am. Just so there's no understanding - I'm not asking to be lazy. I'm currently searching for guides myself. But I still appreciate any assistance. |
