Perhaps backgammon's most endearing charm is that it allows you to believe that when you win it's because of better skill and when you lose it's because of worse luck. So if you're losing more often than you think you should be, what are you going to blame?

There are other popular games, such as golf, that have as much luck as backgammon but in those games the part that luck plays isn't so evident. In backgammon you can see the luck (and even measure it with the aid of bot).
