Internet Playing Site Wish List

IMHO - No its not how it is presented. You have all those nice pretty diagrams, and picture of dice (I have seen that page before - well done by the way). But ask you this honest question, how many *casual* players do you think actually understand or want to understand those tables. Throw statistics in any they tell me, Backgammon is about fun, not a bunch of numbers. I could find you a bunch of casual players send them to that page, and they would have no idea what it is you are trying to say.

Those people who want to advance beyond casual/social will probably relate better to that data.

Casual players want fun, not a bunch of statistics that a majority will never understand. I always come back to Art Benjamin's TED Talk presentation about how statistics being the pinnacle for pre-college math, and not calculus. http://www.ted.com/talks/arthur_benjamin_s_formula_for_changing_math_education.html
