Easy Backgammon Cube Mistakes

Are you tired of making the same mistakes with the backgammon cube? The use of the cube relies heavily on backgammon strategy and can be tricky to get the hang of for some players. However, there is an easy way to avoid making costly mistakes.

The best way to improve your decision-making skills on whether or not to accept the backgammon cube when its offered is to put yourself in your opponent's shoes. Ask yourself what you would do if he doubled while he is already shaking the dice for his next turn. On what factors would you base your decision to accept or drop? You should never be shocked into silence by the doubling cube. Indeed, there are many benefits you reap by being aware of it. For example, if you're expecting the cube and it is not offered, you play on. When it is offered two or three turns later and your position in the backgammon game hasn't changed substantially, stick to your first decision and either take or drop it.

When you're in possession of the backgammon cube, consider the ways in which you might win the backgammon game. You are generally recommended to wait until you are 75 percent sure of victory before you offer the backgammon cube toward the end of the game.
