Random dice

My Opponent just rolled doubles 7 times in 10 rolls. Developers, stop claiming the dice are random. The absolutely ARE NOT RANDOM!!!

Hello Rebdog
The dice are random. Please read this post by a FlyOrDie developer.

Prove that the dice are rigged or stop repeating these false accusations towards FlyOrDie. 
Kind regards,
John

OP

You attempt to create a logical fallacy by stating, “prove the dice are not random.”

I don’t have access to the code, so it’s impossible for me to do so. However, we can rely on probability and reach a reasonable conclusion. 

When I repeatedly see things that have a probability of significantly less than 1%, what am I supposed to think?

You don't need the source code to prove that! 
Roll the dice often enough, like the FlyOrDie developer did.

He proved that the dice are random! 

This has to be my last reply, because we just go round in circles.  🔄

OP

You can stamp your foot and act self righteous, but we both know the odds of rolling doubles 4x in a row are 1296 to one or .07%. It’s a joke when it happens repeatedly. Your stubborn refusal to acknowledge there’s a glitch makes me think you don’t play backgammon here.

u r right

OP

Just played 23 games and kept track of doubles rolled.
Me: 43
Opponent: 84

I won't even mention the amount of times my opponent rolled doubles 2 or 3 times in a row. Not sure why you think you're the arbiter of randomness

Frank Fotis

If you rolled them you wouldn't complain. It is possible to roll 10 double 6s in a row. Unlikely but possible.

Rebdog

OP

I would complain and have. It's ridiculous no matter which party gets the benefit because its completely unrealistic. If you understood probability even a little, you'd understand rolling "10 double sixes in a row" is as close to impossible as you can get

Frank Fotis

I did say unlikely.

It's 6 to the power of 20
