[cqbhoun]

now I know how boring TV poker is for people who don't understand it

[fuckjohnboy]

what is the top possible prize in such backgammon tournaments?

[jiffypoops]

Plz someone,

I'm learning , and there's something I don't get:

Why is Lylloff doubling the cube.. isn't he underdog there?

[Dkouts57]

chip reese considered himself one of the best backgammon players and said that he played Gus hansen and got absolutely destroyed

[HCGDieting]

Whoa they play so fast! I can't figure out their strategies. Fun announcers though

[Inesbell]

you can play World Series of Backgammon online at playwsob.com

[thegoonist]

hmm why didnt lylloff hit after he rolled 6-2

[quickturtle]

Such a great game :)

[IMakeBoringVideos]

wait a minute. gus plays backgammon?

wait a minute. backgammon has its own series?

wait a minute. why do i smell smoke...

[h5y]

Gus played backgammon longg before he started playing pokah.

[makemehavefun]

@IMakeBoringVideos ditto... except I'm inhaling smoke...

[1984Hunter]

@ maksenDK depends on what type of game you play: 1. blitz, 2. fast, 3. normal and 4. added time. 1 blitz - each player has 15 seconds per move and 1 minute timebank for each game, 2 fast - 20 seconds per move and 2 minutes timebank for each game, 3 added time - 30 seconds per move and 3 minutes timebank for each game.

[ashliski]

So they are both Danish and they are talking to each other in English?

[rudahanusek]

@ashliski in any casino in the world u have to talk english or local language...

[1984Hunter]

Hey guys just watch and rate my videos, also read the info video too there i explained everything about real backgammon games, thanks in advance ! You will not regret your time.

[lowtalkerr]

This game makes my head hurt, i don't understand it at all :(

[zer77o]

backgammon is 1 % knowledge and about 99 % PURE LUCK

[maksenDK]

zer77o - :) i can feel like this if you loose all the time.. but ofc this is not true..

[Doug19752533]

@zer77o sorry youre wrong... there is alot of strategy in backgammon - how to set up walls and blockades, when to use the doubling cube, how to use the rolls of the dice correctly. while there is a fair ammount of chance in the rolls, its HOW you use them that makes the difference.

[watergun7]

@Doug19752533 It depends. If 2 players of equal strength play each other, then it would be 100% luck, so I would argue that zer77o would be right in some cases. Of course it is much more likely that he is ignorant and doesn't know how much skill makes a difference in backgammon... but it's very difficult to talk about luck versus skill in backgammon, except to say that it has elements of both (and the question of which one is more dominant cannot be answered).

[JaiDee1993]

anything can be classified as a children's game, its just your approach. For instance wrestling (which is supposed to be so manly) can be portrayed as childish people running around and beating the heck outta themselves for no obvious reason except money, like two kids betaing each other up for a toy

[SvedeboXque]

In wrestling they don't even beat eachother up cause it's FAKE!

Cage fighting is where it's at!

[Doug19752533]

@JaiDee1993 exactly. take checkers - considered a kids game. now try playing it with the same approach as chess, and its a totally different game! very difficult!

[vikesh81]

is Backgammon a complex game to learn ? Or, like Poker has it got a simple premise but many subtle nuances ??

[jdhoffman1221]

Very easy to learn and play but takes a lot to master (if ever)

[davidklausa]

You can consistently beat 90% of players after reading a good book on backgammon, because the game is so poorly played by most players. But to play at a high level it is quite complex - many factors and formulas to consider!

[SolidJCP]

00:16 bad move!!

[davidklausa]

Doesn't look so bad...can you back up your assertion with some computer analysis?

[Sherif846]

where to buy such boards? any idea? i tried amazon, ebay but could not find similar boards.

[freundvonbohm]

have you ever played this game?i think no

its a really hard game

[maksenDK]

how much time does they have from the start.. i have an old chesswatch that i want to use for some backgammon for fun.. but how much time should each have? :)

[Inesbell]

It was agreed by Sander and Gus that they would play 'speed' with only three minutes time bank and 15 seconds to make a play.

Ordinarily in WSOB events, players have 1.5 or 2 minutes per point (ie in a 5 point match it would be 7.5 minutes per player at the outset) and 15 seconds per play.

[woodenchair23]

i think this game is a waste a time and doesnt help wit anything

[JaiDee1993]

neither does football, or soccer, or chess, or swimming, etc but ppl still like it

[DrDre20]

Nice, good play on gus, good gammon

[Neto808]

I don't even know how to play it

[KingHaKon]

what a fag :D

[NolitaDenise]

It can be a child's game. For instance I'm pretty sure Gus' niece could beat the OP and myself at this game with both hands tied behind her back. What is she? Three? Maybe four years old?

[djraw1]

its no child's game

[Inesbell]

lol if you approach backgammon with that attitude, you will be sorry and will be in trouble.

try it and see if you are not breathless at the end.

[pokernuts]

Why does John say Fal-a-fel? Is that an English thing? Sounds ridiculous. Surely the correct pronunciation is Fal-ar-fel.

[Inesbell]

it's unique to JC :)

[Shuffmike]

@pokernuts I guess you don't know what is a meal unless it's a burger served with fries, just wiki it you will learn something someday

[pokernuts]

so JC is right and the rest of the world is wrong?

[asong1588]

how do u play backgammon? is it gambling? im guessing u need luck in your rolls? strategy involved yes?

[Inesbell]

backgammon is very similar to poker in terms of balance of luck and skill. With the doubling cube you can also raise the stakes, sometimes a 'raise' or 're-raise/ re-cube' will get a guy (or gal) off a game he should be calling or taking - like a bluff i poker.

[telecoustic]

@Inesbell perfect answer.

[Inesbell]

...and Gus will be in Cannes for WSOB/PGT RIVIERA CUP and WSOB CHAMPIONSHIP - 15 - 21 JUL immediately after WSOP

[Inesbell]

hope you like it, it's unique I think, hope you will watch all our shows on Eurosport 2 in Europe. Other broadcasts are expected in USA and Europe later this year... listings info on World Series of Backgammon on Facebook and WSOB website
