Backgammon Tip for Doubling Cube

Each backgammon game is played for a pre-decided stake. The backgammon doubling cube is used to double the stake for that particular backgammon game. The backgammon tip tells you at what point in the backgammon game the backgammon doubling cube should be used.

The simple backgammon tip is to use the backgammon doubling cube when you feel that your chance of winning the backgammon game is greater than 75%. In such a situation your opponent will rarely risk the chance of losing double the stake and will usually concede the backgammon game. This is how you can win the backgammon game in one stroke using the doubling cube.

There is a backgammon tip that tells you when you should accept a double. In this context there is an important rule of the backgammon game that you should bear in mind. Once you have accepted a double you become the owner of the backgammon doubling cube and you alone can initiate the next double. Hence once you accept the double your opponent can win the backgammon game only by completing it, that is winning it 100%. He cannot put any further pressure on you by using the backgammon doubling cube. This gives you a chance to improve your position. If your situation improves to 75% chance of winning you can use the doubling cube and exert pressure on your opponent. The backgammon tip therefore is that even if you have a 25% chance of winning you should accept a double and become the owner of the doubling cube.
