These backgammon videos will not teach you how to get an edge over Gus in backgammon. But thanks anyway.

I have a nice backgammon set at home, it's a game I've always enjoyed playing but I'm not all that good at it. Downloading this now, thanks for making it Smile

I have more the less retired from backgammon and turned into poker now. I played professinal backgammon for like a decade. There are various reasons to why I quit. This match was played at "true moneygames".

I havent had this question for a long time. Today I would recommend www.netgammon.com
Because there is rating, and from there, you can compare your own strength from the others on the site. Games can be imported to snowie. And since there are no games for $ on the site, then also not expect the strongest games in there. So if you get to be amongst the best in there, you are not ready yet to win rolls from the predators on the other sites.

The best software always used to be truemoneygames and gamesgrid. Gamesgrid went down and is back now on www.gridgammon.com Heard a rumor that they dont accept new players.

There are also a lot of free sites like yahoo and others. If you just want a game now and then and have not much ambitions about the game, then these are fine.
