Auckland Backgammon

When is it too good to double?

• If you can't lose play on. As long as you can always win by doubling later, play on.
• Be careful if your Game is strong but you could lose it with a bad roll. Losing chances in the 20% range generally means it is right to throw the cube and cash in the Game.
• If you own the cube and you're playing for the gammon stay away from risky checker play.

Leaving blots, getting hit, dancing on the bar, can't find your way home?
