In Response To: downswings (Phil Simborg)

When I find myself losing money, I look for easier opponents.

Phil and I have disagreed on several issues, but here I am with him 100%.

I personally don't play backgammon to win money, but if that is really your goal, it's not so easy to do that online. Neil is probably right that you need to get your ER down to 4, but getting from 8.7 down to 4 is easier said than done. You may be better off trying to start your own chouette locally.
