slapdash Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling Just beat teaulc 9-0. I'm quite embarrassed by the amount of good luck I had. The scoreline definitely doesn't reflect the relative ability! Thanks for the game, teaulc, and very unlucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling 9-4 to me, but that doesn't tell the whole story!!! I went 8-0 up, then with the doubling cube out of action (I thought it was just one crawford game - evidently not!!) Spurman won the next 4!!!!!! Nice comeback mate - had me worried (and if the doubling cube had still been in play, it could have been different!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpurMan Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling Good game GaF?. If I could have doubled, it would have been 10-8 not 10-4 ;-) Still, got my eye in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurman won the next 4!!!!!! Nice comeback mate - had me worried (and if the doubling cube had still been in play, it could have been different!!!) Strange. I'm sure Crawford's rule is only supposed to apply for the first game after somebody gets within one point of winning. I've even checked the rules on PartyGammon and that's what it says there. Did Spurman have "autoroll" on? I think you have to turn it off before it's your roll to get a chance to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to turn it off before it's your roll to get a chance to double. I couldn't believe Spurman wasn't doubling up first roll of every game - so right at the end I tried to help him out a bit and told him - when he said he couldn't, I turned my autoroll off and there was no option to double up.....

slapdash Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling Very strange! I presume there had been doubles earlier in the match? It's not just that whoever set it up did it without the doubling cube by mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling By the way, I've decided it's a big mistake to have "autoroll" on unless you're absolutely sure you won't want to double any time soon. I've only played a few times online, but at least three times already I've missed an opportunity to double as insurance against a possible lucky throw by my opponent and they've got the lucky throw. Of course, I can't be certain they'd have folded if I had doubled, but all three times I'm thinking of, I'm fairly sure they weren't getting the pot odds or implied odds to accept.

GaF Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Backgammon Tourney - Time to get rolling Yeah I had doubled up every game to 8-0 I think - Spurman may actually have won more games than me!! :loon (I think I won a doubled gammon for 4 points!!!)
