- It’s easy to tell when you have a great roll-- the dice will be cocked
- For every cube action, there is an equal and opposite cube action (that will bite you in the ass later).
- Never give a cube you’re afraid will be taken.
- Buying your opponent drinks is the best investment you’ll ever make.
- No cube is too big if the stakes are too low.
- When the match is over, EVERYONE thinks they rolled worse.
- If you want someone to really hate you right after you win a backgammon game, point out what they did wrong.
- Playing in too big a game is like reaching under a cow: you can get hurt bad if the steaks are over your head.
- You are most likely to win back games when it’s your opponent who is playing them.
- You can judge a player by his hit and cover.
- If you stop to truly consider all the plays before every move, plan on spending the night.
- If you want to really bore someone, tell them all about your bad rolls.
- He who bears off last, laughs last.
