Backgammon doubling cube and gammons/backgammons

A significant part of the strategy in competitive backgammon involves the doubling cube. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backgammon_match_strategy for details.) It adds a second level of strategy to the game, forcing the player to think about their chances of winning, and whether they want to accept higher stakes. I'd love to see that available on BGA.

Similarly, I'd also like to see gammons and backgammons implemented, with the standard multipliers to game value.

Before we discuss it in another topic, but generally people play to 1, 3 or 5 points, and believe in me... 80% of games will be played to 1 point because is too long -if a game to 1 point take around 12 min, to 5 points could take an hour average-

The dev tell us -around 10 months ago- that he will add this option someday...
