Emne: Question about end of game
What is the standard policy for this for you?

At the end of a 5 win match, you are both within 5 on a dice roll of the win. Only one piece. I send a draw request. Is that unreasonable? I don't get it? Why would you want to "luck it out"? I think that is dumb.

rednaz23: I would take the draw but it is up to your oponent. You may want to wright the reasons for the draw request when giving it to show them the wisdom of the draw.

mctrivia: I did! They replied by saying; "This is the real part of the game, this is where it actually matters!"

...what!? really!?

What do you say to that? I couldn't believe it, for I feel once you are both within one dice roll, you always have a one-sixth chance, and that is it! It is all luck! Well, this has happened twice to me now, both times I have offered draws, both times my opponent has said no, and both times I have won. There loss, they could have had a draw!

rednaz23: Yes, on a specific roll (in this case), you have 1/6 chance of an immediate win, but what matters is the overall winning chance which is not 50%. The player on roll is a small favourite (before seeing his roll). If he don't get the die he needs, then his opponent becomes the small favourite, and this will shift back and forth until one player wins. At no point will your winning chance be exactly 50 %.

And the point with my "story" is that one player would prefer to play on, while the other would prefer a draw.

Emne: Re: Question about end of game
whopper: I completely agree, but when I send the draw offer WITH my roll that gets me into 5 pegs or less... they can A: See they have the game won. B: Realize they now have a little less than 50% chance of winning. With those two options, if you don't "peg" in, then why not accept!? Now that I actually sit here thinking about it though... I shouldn't offer the draw, because if it isn't A, then I would be slightly favored to win...

Pedro: It is a game of luck, maybe everyone should. However, their is strategy to it, whether to peg a piece out or to move one up on 6's, whether to chase your opponent on one side of the board, or run on the other side of the board... things like that. It is a game of chance! It about taking the probability put in front of you and determining which will account for a better position for you compared to your opponent. So, no draws at the beginning of the game. That is simply dumb. Draws when it is even at the end, and no strategy is involved, and more just "dumb luck"... that is debateable, hence my earlier post.

rednaz23: You could also offer a draw at the very beginning of the game.
