Play Backgammon Online for Free and for Real Money

If you want to play backgammon online for free, you have two ways to go about it. One, you can opt for the 'no-download' game where you'll need Java (usually) to run it. And two, you can download a free program (I think it's called 'shareware', I'm not sure). For the latter, I like FIBS the best and I've no complaints when I use it.

On the other hand, if you want to get into the money games, you're going to need to deposit usually $25-$50 so that you can play for real money. I think the success of playing poker online has paved the way for backgammon tourneys with big prizes at stake. But without question, if you're thinking of playing backgammon online for real money, you're going to need to download that game site's program.

My suggestion for anyone who wants to play backgammon online for money is to play for free first. You got to hone your clicking and doubling skills before you can bet on winning.

Obviously, I haven't played for money... nor am I considering it in the near future. As I've mentioned before, I'm not that good... yet! But I think that some community of players on FIBS have regular free-to-join tournaments where the winner gets a cash prize. I have to look that up to be sure.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

Paymaya duplicate account 2018 [fixed]

How to fix a Paymaya Duplicate Account issue? Do not waste your time sending an email to support@paymaya.com or messaging PaymayaCares on FB because you will only get a canned response (and a headache). YOU NEED TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING... If you do not have a landline but you do have a Smart number, call *788 directly. This is free. That's what I did. I spoke with a rep and she fixed it right away, mabilis lang. She said the BSP (Bangko Sentral) is strict and will only allow 1 upgraded account per user. Any attempts to upgrade a different number will flag the new account and put you in this duplicate account mess and you won't be able to add money to this new number anymore. (The original account will not be affected though.) Because they cannot cancel the submitted upgrade request on the new number (it doesn't work that way daw), I had to choose which number I want to keep-- If I choose to keep the old upgraded number, they will delete the duplicate account and I

GlobeAtHome no internet [fixed]

Globe at Home: "Connected without internet" ================ 11/4/2023 Saturday ================ 12 Noon: We lost our wifi today. After troubleshooting* a few times -- still no "internet" light on the modem; it is off while all other lights are green. *Power off modem for 30 seconds and wait for it to boot up. ~2:45pm: I called Globe's customer service 211 . It's free to call with a Globe #. Automated recording for broadband services - give your customer account # and wait for a human to answer. I didn't wait too long -- The rep told me that since there's no advisory for my area, to keep troubleshooting because they might be able to fix it on their end later today, but she still put me down for a tech "home visit" for tomorrow. I received my report reference # via text message too.  She said I will also give that ref # if I want to request for a "bill adjustment" later. Modem status 4pm: I logged into the modem, the da
