Gambling or Strategy?

In Response To: Gambling or Strategy? (Matt Ryder)

Just to clarify, I wasn't necessarily advocating any of the straw-man arguments I presented in my last post. I was just trying to take the arguments I had heard other people propose, and to show that (with a bit of caricaturization) they could be viewed as coming from one camp or the other.

Game-recording is a standard feature of most online money servers

What I meant was any kind of recording of the game that would slow things down would be anathema to the gambling mindset.

With much of its popularity lost to poker, backgammon is fighting for its life.

This is true, but again this is something that is more troubling to the person who's trying to make money than the person who is interested purely in strategy.
