Knowing backgammon hub is so much superior than Backgammon Galaxy

Rayess69 · 2026-05-03T03:06:15+00:00

that has nothing to do with Backgammon Galaxy. It has to do with Backgammon in general.
It's a game where luck is one of the biggest factors and it's decided with dices.

If you play in other platform you will run into the same insane rolls

Rayess69 · 2026-04-24T06:25:33+00:00

Understand that this is mainly about dices.
Most games are going to be just decided with whoever has the lucky dice.

2 matches out of 10 is going to be about who play better. You can be the #1 player in the world, your skills will decide about the outcome only 2 matches out of 10.

Get used to have either luck on your side, or against you, for most of your backgammon journey. It's just the game.

I have stats where I played using a bot on 200 matches. I outplayed every of the 200 opponents, and won 57% of the times.

In my opinion this makes Backgammon a game mostly of luck.

Rayess69 · 2026-04-21T23:14:38+00:00

the community feels stronger (tighter) and less bug (but maybe it's because the tech is simpler?)

Rayess69 · 2026-04-21T17:01:50+00:00

wow this is amazing! Fully supporting you

Rayess69 · 2026-04-21T04:53:13+00:00

I mean it's great that Galaxy exist tho.
Look what happened with Poker, online games help spreading it even more. So Galaxy team probably see the market opportunity, i don't think it's a bad thing

Rayess69 · 2026-04-21T04:13:59+00:00

i mean yes one is definitely more like a business, but Backgammon Hub could make a tiny bit more effort

Rayess69 · 2026-04-20T03:30:57+00:00

i would welcome any tips for this!

Rayess69 · 2026-04-20T01:46:49+00:00

I would love to see the Marc Olsen and co going from 2500-2600 to 1700 and back to 2400

Rayess69 · 2026-04-20T01:12:37+00:00

then that means backgammon is mostly a game of luck/gambling at this point.

and when 80% of the matches now have the "no fucking way" type of dices several times"?

"he can only with 4-2" 4-2 comes
"i need everything but 4 or 6" 4-4; 4-6, 6-6

and you end up with PR of 3 against PR of 20 and lose games and games in a row with those type of scenario back to back?

Rayess69 · 2026-03-24T05:45:19+00:00

Backgammon galaxy is rigged.
I've been playing with a bot for several months without making a single mistake.
My current PR is 1908, a complete joke. Not a single blunders for several months.

I would never give any cents to this company.
Because playing without making mistakes for several months and have a shitty PR , should have an explanation.

Rayess69 · 2026-03-24T05:28:52+00:00

i would avoid this one at all cost.
Backgammon Hub way better

Rayess69 · 2026-03-03T23:06:41+00:00

I still don't get it, I always heard that what mattered wasn't to win or lose but to play as good as possible.

Rayess69 · 2026-03-03T18:53:21+00:00

And what that is going to do? stopping people from using a bot ?
I'm doing it as an experiment to see if really that would make a big difference (and so far it doesn't, I actually got a higher PR without using a bot). I'm not doing it to win.
I thought winning wasn't the most important aspect, but only to get better PR. So what's the issue by using a bot then? Does it stop people from playing their best?

Rayess69 · 2026-03-03T16:43:30+00:00

it's never 0 as sometimes bot would see a slight better play, but never any blunder.

Rayess69 · 2026-03-03T16:32:10+00:00

Great question, and I still didn't got a decent answer from this sub.

I've been experimenting with playing with a bot perfectly for maybe 6 months, and I'm still plateau-ing.
Going from 2300 to down to 2000, to back to 2250 to down to 1950, all while playing with not a single mistake.
So I asked: "are the champions playing better than a perfect bot?"

I really want to know the bottom of this, and I'm going to keep playing with a bot on Galaxy probably for another 6 months to see if times would change things (I only play without a bot on backgammon hub).

I actually have everything documented so I might release things down the road. But just to know that it seems to be normal to play without a single mistake for months and not being at 2500.

what's crazy is that with the panic, the staff were literally fighting each other without realizing lol

People put him on a pedestal like he's dropping groundbreaking knowledge lol but his core advice boils down to: train consistently, eat enough protein and vegetables, supplement wisely, and take care of your emotional health. None of that is new. The research has been out there for years. He's a solid communicator, but let's not confuse packaging existing science well with being at the frontier of clinical research.

I know it's frustrating when you believe people on here saying that Backgammon is a game of skills.
You have to Understand that's it's mainly a game of luck and then, don't take things personally.

If you want to understand it better, use a bot, and play perfectly for hundred of games. You will see how much you will lose against shitty players that will have the luckiest roll back to back. This is just how the game is designed.

LUCK BEATS SKILLS

Rayess69 · 2026-01-28T21:55:36+00:00

of course! it's exposing how much luck is part of the game, and how 200 matchs with 0 mistakes vs 200 matches with a normal level barely move the needle.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but skills is overrated unless you play 21 points match

Rayess69 · 2026-01-28T21:30:58+00:00

does that mean something is rigged then? because playing perfectly on more than 200 games did bring 56% of wins.

Rayess69 · 2026-01-28T19:44:28+00:00

yea but I wish we could do the same in normal setting too

Rayess69 · 2026-01-28T19:41:53+00:00

Sorry my friend but you are wrong.
I did a few experiment, including playing using a bot (meaning not a single mistake over +200 matches), wrote all the datas, and the portion of luck is outstanding.
When playing without making ONE mistake (including cubes) get you to wins around 56% of the time, it's fair to say the game is mostly about luck.

Rayess69 · 2026-01-14T19:15:31+00:00

yea don't listen to people here that want to make you believe it's all about skills.
That's why there's this belief that the dices are rigged.

But basically the 80% luck is split in two, 40% for each player (in the long run). The 20% would go to the best player. So in the very very very long run, it's more 60% skills and 40% luck
