        I used to play. There was a sportsbook or poker site long time ago that let you play for money. Can't remember it though

                  I used to play a lot. Interest seems to have declined a lot, so it's hard to find a game.

                        Thanks,if you like the under hit it.
                        I’m not 100 percent.
                        I saw value in under 10.5 yesterday MIL/PIT
                        2-1 bottom 8, long story short 7-6 final.

                        Yep 10 runs since the bottom of the eighth.

                              I'm a very good backgammon player. Probably would be ranked #1 at SBR.

                                  I had to choose as a kid, between backgammon and another sport; I chose the other, which is more meaningful and challenging:

                                            Backgammon just might be THE best game to play stoned.

                                            Arabs were smoking hash and playing this game 3000 years ago.

                                            The doubling cube is one of the greatest gambling inventions of all time.

                                                I play whenever I can find a game. Love it.

                                                The site you used to be able to play at online was "gammon empire".

                                                I wish that site was still around.

                                                I have been playing a lot of gin lately.

                                                  Agreed. The game within the game - love it!

                                                  Backgammon even has the chouette style (had to google the spelling - thought it was "shoot") when it's one player vs. multiple, like a bank. Insanely fun to watch or play.

                                                  Before 9/11 there was a small park in front of the WTC where there was open air backgammon/chess games (for money) every day. I used to watch and play (probably watched 10 games for every 1 I played) ... there were some Wall Street types who were rumored to be some of the best in the world, plus the local hustler talent - it was fukkin' awesome.

                                                  Those games have long since moved inside the atrium of a nearby complex of buildings near subway entrances - I've been a few times - but the old magic is 100% gone. Fantastic game.

                                                    Yeah, I love backgammon and chess. Pretty good at both, learned to play when i was around 6-7 years old.
