In Response To: Handicap Backgammon. One start with cube. (Mochy)

My calculation leads to about 14000 games actually.

I assumed SD = 3 and the result should be between -N * 0.05 and +N* 0.05 with 95% confidence.

I draw SD = 3 from the article shown below. http://www.gammonvillage.com/backgammon/magazine/article_display.cfm?resourceid=1793
