Re: BAckgammon Games

I've been wanting to play a little backgammon as well. However I remember reading a post about the use of bots in the backgammon rooms? Basically the post stated the bots had virtually destroyed any value in playing BG online.

This has been discussed many times in the Other Gambling forum. Look for threads where Robertie has participated.
At least on some servers, cheating using bots is extremely uncommon. You can analyze the matches afterward using a bot. If you were playing against a bot, any other bot will like its play much more than it likes any human's play. I have played thousands of matches and money games online, and almost none of my opponents could have been using bots consistently.
What has happened is that those who do not practice against bots will usually get crushed by those who have trained against bots. That may make backgammon unprofitable for those who are not willing to study the game seriously.
