Grrrrrrr... I would suggest that the 66 and 55 must be removed from the possible rolls here:)

I hate when i'm outplaying my opponent and the dice decides that he should win! In my games here i have a dice-number about 0.86 of the opponent until now. This is amazing and one can easily say that Brainking dice hates me!

Can you please explain one thing to me ?
How can a person say "I hate when i'm outplaying my opponent and the dice decides that he should win!" The dices are part of the game and I don`t think that you are outplaying the opponent without the dices,,,,,

No. In Backgammon there is skill and luck. One can win games with luck and no skill or with skill and no luck or having both luck and skill.
You say that someone must have luck to outplay another. This is not true. He can do this if he has the ability/knowledge/skill even without much luck.

What i meant was that the quality of moves i played was much better than my opponents, but the luck they had was enough for them to win me. Despite the fact that i was playing the best moves while they played wrong, the dice for them was MUCH better.
As i've said my pipcount number of my first ~60 games was 86% of the pipcount number of my opponents. That was VERY strange. Now after 120+ games, i calculated it again and it is 96% of my opponent. A logical value.
