Walter Montego:
I often see that here. The discussion has been had a thousand times, and Fencer claims the dice-rolling-routine is good, but I cannot believe that.
I had nine of my opponents roll 6-6 in a row...
In Dice Poker, everybody can count this for himself: if you select two dice for re-roll, 90% of the time the same numbers come up again. Just countit or a while.

Aganju: I think the issue is that the routine uses the current time as seed or so. If you make many moves within a minute, all your opponents get the same roll. I have started to wait a full minute before re-rolling in dice poker, and it helps a lot to get a different result.

AganjuNot a lot of point in discussing it here. Fencer doesn't give a stuff about Backgammon.

pgt: We should all know by now that the Brainking dice's a joke but we carry on playing regardless, all 10 of us!

Aganju: I think the issue is that the routine uses the current time as seed or so.

Why do you think that? Are you knowledgeable about random number generators?

playBunny: Actually, yes. Part of my masters degree was about 'Pseudo random numbers', how to make them and how to analyze the quality. It's been a while, though.

Aganju: Yet I would say that I don't experience your 90% stat in Dice Poker. Not even close to 90% personally

Walter Montego: Definitely 'luck', LOL
