Bearing off
I find that if I have an equal score or if I am marginally ahead at bearing off that I always lose because my opponents gets three or four doubles in a row. Even today I started bearing off two moves before my opponent with a pip count twenty more than him. At that stage he still doubled as if he knew he will still win, which he did after 4 consecutive doubles. I know it can not be a general thing but suspect I lose more often if I go into bearing off when pip count is equal and we start bearing off at the same round.
I have noticed that also. 

I also notice that if I offer a draw, the other person can only accept or resign. What if they wanted to continue the game?
