Play65 review
Backgammon is something that you really need to know well if you are going to play for money. Seriously - I thought I knew how to play the game and win almost everytime I play against friends, but when I played here, I felt slightly stupid.
I have now improved a lot, because I then decided not to be so arrogant and learn a bit more about the game. I did this by playing loads of free money games. I realised that for every move made, there is a correct counter move to make. Obviously, sticking to this strategy will not always win, because you will come across aggressive players etc. But it certainly helps in the long run.
Besides the fact that you are playing for real money, this game is fun and anybody that plays backgammon regularly, knows how addictive it can be. I really like the game a lot.
I think that skill games in general will be the next big thing in the online betting world and backgammon will be one of the most popular games of these. Get in now and learn the ways of this trend before everybody else does so you have a head start.
