It has been proven time and time again that players who play a backgammon game for money need to start off with a plan before betting that first dollar. It is not enough to simply go into the game and 'hope for the best'. A good, sound money management plan essentially separates the winners from the losers in the long run.

The first thing you need to do before you play a backgammon game for money is decide on limits. Limits imply both high and low limits. Simply put, this means that you will quit when you reach a certain amount of winnings and you will also quit if you lose too much of your money. Having these upper and lower limits means that you have a safe framework within which to work and you mind will be clear to concentrate on your game and not be distracted by your finances.

While it is good to know the rules before you have a backgammon game for money, simply knowing them won't help unless you learn to apply them. The key to this is discipline. You will need to be disciplined enough to know when to quit, even when you’re on a roll and you are tempted to have 'just one more game'. And you need to be disciplined enough to quit when you are having a bad stroke of luck and are just as tempted to try and recoup your losses. Discipline is an art and needs constant practice. Making clear, concerted decisions about your money before you get caught up in the hype of a backgammon game for money will go a long way in ensuring that your bankroll is protected as much as possible.
