backgammon scoring

Anonymous

Can someone explain how MSN backgammon scores wins and losses for Rated games. I'd like to know how the points won or lost are calculated and how diffences in the ratings of the players effects the point system

By the way, It seems to me that the current system discourages players with higher scores from playing with those with significantly lower scores by making the points won so much less that points lost. For example, someone with a rating in the 1900s playing with someone with a rating in the 1700s can only gain a few points (less than 10) by winning but loses 25 points (or even more) my losing. I can understand some differential in points wor or lost, but the one that exists encourages the better player to avoid the lower ranked player.
