backgammon strategy also has a reputation as being "beatable" and although that is true in some cases, the vast majority of players will always be playing the game with the house having a slight edge over them.
The rules of the game mean that the backgammon strategy levels are fixed and that players who raise with a hand, will only be paid out (at even-money) on their ante bet if the dealer does not qualify.
