Backgammon Gambling

Backgammon – One of the Most Ancient Games Steps Into the Future – an article by Gene Marshall

This article explains how gambling occurs within the game of Backgammon.    

Backgammon is played as a series of games, with the winner of each game earning one point. The overall winner is the first to reach a set number of points, say 5. So in this example, the first to win 5 games takes the crown.  Alternatively there may be a set time limit or a set number of games and the person with the most points at the end wins.
