In Response To: The resurgance of backgammon (Jake Jacobs)

What your're forgetting Jake is the fact that there is a big difference between 'respectable money' and 'seedy money'. Seedy money is what has held the game back for so long. When poker became televised following the introduction of hole card cameras, it became respectable money. What's wrong with guys in jockey shorts on an overclocked i7 ? It's a lot more respectable than smoked filled back rooms filled with ne'er do wells with a fat roll in one pocket and a knife in the other. Stop living in the 70's and let's aim for respectable glamour, not gangster glamour. Leave that in Pattaya or wherever.
