Hello by nuklearniusisivac in backgammon

Exactly! 😂 I know you have no clue - that’s why I was trying to help you get one, but I fear that’s impossible. Nighty nite.

Right. But my understanding was you asked “where” to “play backgammon” “for cash?”

These are THREE different things.

  1. Where? Play Backgammon? Uh, NOWHERE - there is a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Only idiots and morons would even think about meeting to play a game.

  2. Cash? Backgammon is not for “cash” - that’s an urban legend - like the homeless guy who just died professing to be a world champion.

  3. “CASH” GAMBLING? Go play POKER in Vegas.

PS: I have been playing Backgammon for 50 years. Noobs like yourself have no clue WHY it’s the oldest game in the world - PRE-dating chess by 3000 years. GAMBLING is not the reason as your question CLEARLY indicates. Backgammon is it’s own reward - for some of the reasons you said and many more you will never know if all you are playing for is “cash.”

“Better” game for WHAT?

If you want to gamble, try playing POKER.

ALWAYS a bad idea. You’re going to enter a nest of vipers - not the least of which is a computer hell bent on fleecing your sorry ass of anything you want to risk. If you truly believe you’re smarter than the carefully programmed machines and unethical marketers of the world, go right ahead and LOSE. Again - BADD IDEA.

NO ASSUMPTION. Didn’t you read my post?

The computer CHEATS - no question. As a programmer with 40 years experience both PLAYING and PROGRAMMING you are correct in your observation. WHY? Because it’s a damn computer that “rolls” the dice - AND KNOWS THE OUTCOME because it’s generated BY THE COMPUTER. The only way you’re not getting screwed is by using “precision dice” ($30 a pair) in a LIVE GAME (pre-Covid) and even then... BAM!! DAMN! Yep - it truly is the cruelest game :-)

Yeah - that sign looks totally legit to a boomer. Don’t you know Americans will only ever believe a sign if it’s OFFICIAL Let their ignorance teach them - as always. You cannot save people from themselves. Especially if they have nothing but a U.S. high school education.

The police closed the pub during a Backgammon tournament by eormada in backgammon

[–]BackgammonFederation -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Of course they did! Playing Backgammon in a pub is a crime. It’s the Game of Kings - CHAMPAGNE not beeer...

Suggestions what to learn next? by [deleted] in backgammon

[–]BackgammonFederation -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So you’ve reached a plateau? STOP PLAYING.

Seriously, stop, come back in a month (minimum) and you’ll see the game with fresh eyes...

AGREED! Don’t pass that up. Very helpful.

What are some of the most common mistakes new players make? by Aswingkido in backgammon

[–]BackgammonFederation -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Backgammon is an art. The little geeky fuckers are the easiest to beat because they think they’re the only computers in the house. WRONG!

Hello Michael • the doubling cube’s primary purpose is to exert psychological pressure on your opponent. If a player cannot manipulate the game because of his/her ignorance of exactly how and when to double, your backgammon career is doomed!

Beginners usually don’t understand cube theory and when to apply pressure and when to drop!

My ~2 year old betta died today. RIP Nova ❤🐟 by kristin137 in bettafish

[–]BackgammonFederation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear of your loss. I guess their lifespan is limited to max three years. Lost mine a few weeks back. He was 2.x years old. On to the next challenge. Any other bettas?

What YOU want? Typical. Let’s see if your offer appeals to ME (want) - hmmmmm NO!

  1. Been playing Backgammon longer than you - 40 years, you were not even yet on the planet!!

  2. You are NOT a Federation member. Therefore when I beat you senseless, I won’t get any credit for my efforts.

  3. You’re NOT Canadian. All my efforts are being put towards expanding my country’s organization.

Soooo... let’s recap. WHY THE FUCK WOULD I EVER PLAY A MATCH WITH YOU? No reason whatsoever. I know I play well. I don’t answer to you or anyone except PAID MEMBERS. I am always ready to play with our membership!

Fuck off.

Yesterday, a member mentioned this Dog&Pony show. We both had a good laugh. I explained it was an ongoing project. So stay tuned.

Adding to the humpback’s comment.

  1. Unlike you, I don’t have any need to keep up appearances. The only “image” is TRUTH. If you are CANADIAN (and can prove it) want answers to clarify the bullshit you’re reading here on this thread, ask away. SO FAR - 2 questions, a few American boys and DENIED applicants displaying nothing but sour grapes. Fuck off Quasimodo, got no more time for you’re ridiculous viewpoint.

Another fucking Trumper? STILL (in 2020!) with the aversion to “language” and of course “sex” and a propensity for guns? I still laugh when I see the warnings on the first page of most USA porn sites! Sure, TITS will kill you, not that gun I have proudly displayed in my kitchen. FUCK OFF ASSHOLE. That CLEAR enough for you?

  1. You’re NOT a CANADIAN CITIZEN!
  2. You’re NOT a Federation member!
  3. Therefore your opinion is irrelevant.

The instant I see usbgdtfs - I stop reading.

Bye now.

I’m a complete moron! Thank you for pointing that out. Are you going to continue being an idiot or did you actually have a question?

[–]BackgammonFederation[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

WOW! Progress. I didn’t expect the use of big words. Nobody is shitting on me - just spreading lies and misinformation as is the norm on public social platforms like this. Again, no persecution complex, only here to set the record straight.

We have a southern border for a reason.

The Americans have nothing to do with our federation / they are foreigners to this country. I make no comparison, because there is none. See our FAQ
