In Response To: Adding Backgammon to Proposed Legisation for Online Poker. (Perry Gartner)

I would suggest we contact some of the leading poker players that are poker celebrities and get statements from them we can submit stating they think backgammon is as much, or more, a game of skill as poker. This combined with some academic proof of how much skill impacts backgammon should help. Following the lead of the poker examples used to establish skill may be useful.
