In most of competition games, betting is very common. It makes every game much more interesting and thrilling and the players have to think much more thoroughly of each and every move they make. When I thought about it, I couldn’t find a game that doesn’t have a betting variation- without including the games made specifically for betting as poker, roulette etc.
The same applies to backgammon betting, that can be also considered as "backgammon gambling", when you play a game just for fun - with no intention to hurt the feelings of all the "backgammon free" players - the game doesn’t have the same qualities. A simple example that all of us will understand; If someone will call you while playing a free backgammon game, you will check the situation and if your winning odds are not too good, you will leave the game - unless, of course it is a tournament or other important game. If something like this will happen to you while playing a backgammon betting game, I guess you will think much more before leaving the table…
The big difference between backgammon betting to other betting variations of games is that the betting variation as the doubling cube which has a big part in the game and can change not only the results of the backgammon betting game but even the amount of money the winner will take (the stakes).
Before online backgammon, backgammon bets took place between friends and in games club and included, among other things, proposition bets on different positions.
