I think autopass is available here, isn't it?


Can you help me?  On which page can I set that option?

Субъект: Re:
alanback: of course because of the sheer number of dice rolls being generated every day, there will be a large amount of good or bad rolls. you are exactly right. i bet that if you could somehow look at all of the rolls on this site in a day, you would probably see each of the 6 numbers represented fairly evenly.

this reminds me of when i used to regularly scan the forums of a poker site i play at. inevitably ehrte was always someone complaining about the large number of bad beats. what they didnt always realize was that that site does hunderds of thousands of hands on a slow day, and that a certain percentage of bad beats will happen. a 1% chance over 1 million hands is 10,000.

Just out of interest though, Fencer, is the random dice programme 'burglar proof' as someone else mentioned, or could anyone playing here be able to fiddle their dice?

probability to get a double: 1/6.
probability to get 6 doubles in a row: (1/6)^6 = 1/46656
if anyone gets this, the random generator is probably wrong.

probability not to get a double: 5/6
probability not to get a double, 6 times in a row: (5/6)^6 = 15625/46656 or about 1/3. well within reasonable.

Субъект: Re: just a question
tippyc: the probability of getting double 6's on any given roll is always exactly 1/36. the same concept applies to all dice rolls.

But that does not mean either, that the probability of getting 6 doubles in a row is the same as not getting 6 doubles in a row.

Субъект: Vacation days
I have no vacation days left, and know of others in the same boat, whether like me it was because of no PC connection or moving home, there are numerous reasons

So, what do we do now ?
Well myself i try to get here every day, BUT that is not always possible for some people.

There was a mention a while ago about having people able to access someone elses account to play there games & prevent games timing out. Have not heard anymore about that

How about for those who have run out of vacation days the possibility of being able to buy more (say 2 EUR per day).
I would say a maximum of 10 so people did not just do it for the sake of it, or take undue advantage.

It would be nice if invited to a wedding, funeral or even having to go into hospital, we did not have to have the worry of games timing out on us

Gabriel Almeida: this discussion was about the dice games on brainking .. not about cheating per se .. no names were being called (i dont allow names being called on this board .. it only leads to lynching of specific players not to a discussion about brainking and its system

if someone can give a list of a player who won extraordinary many dice games by getting too many good rolls .. please ask about it on the board of that game type and ask the experts in that game if its possible to have these rolls this often .. it might be skill or not yet subject to the rule of large numbers .. but again .. try to leave out the name .. we dont want people to go after a specific person .. the only person to go after someone is fencer
(and by the way .. asking for bernice to be banned isnt inline with this board either :))

Субъект: Re: just a question
Tigger & everyone else: to be a good dice poker player, it seems that you need to know what to do with the rolls you get, that you know what to do with the bad rolls and wait for the good ones to come. Backgammon seems to rely more on what the roll is, but if you dont know how best to use the two dice values you will still be a lousy player.

on a side note: people tend to forget that the probability of an event occurring is not reliant on the previous event. that means that just because someone got (in backgammon) double 6's on their last roll doesn't mean that they have any less of a chance to get double 6's next time. the probability of getting double 6's on any given roll is always exactly 1/36. the same concept applies to all dice rolls.

Субъект: Re: just a question
Tigger: Well I think it is the luck of the draw....for instance ...in a game of triple dice poker I have had 6 5's of a kind...I didnt cheat to get them I guess I was just lucky, and the game is only 1/2 way through so in theory I could get more...

wetware:  That's how I see it too.  Some players just know how to stack the odds in their favor.  Some players I consistently beat in the dice games.  Others I play I get taken to school.  It's not so much about the rolls they get but their knowing what to do with those rolls.

I suspect Fencer has many safeguards to keep BrainKing burglar free ;)

Субъект: Re: just a question

Tigger: As you might know, there are some sites that allow you to review dice rolls after a game or series of games, showing what the actual distributions were--compared to the theoretical average values.  Neat stuff!  Sometimes I'll see that an opponent got more nice rolls than expected, but not so many that would clearly demonstrate some kind of cheating.  But those rolls and situations are painful...and they stand out in memory!


I think that in games involving dice (or in other games of imperfect information), very good players will combine a solid grasp of probabilities with an understanding of how those probabilities might unfold in play.  They'll do a better job of anticipating possibilities, and will tend to distribute their pieces in play so as to maximize positive outcomes and minimize bad outcomes.  I think that at times it can present the illusion that they're influencing rolls or getting access to hidden knowledge...

Tigger: Correct ...I had the same experience many times ...you always think the opponent got more doubles than you but in the end it isn't . But with these players ...mmm... dunno ...but they always got the right dice ...always in any single game ... people can be lucky sometimes but not always . I can't imagine how they could cheat but it is very strange . They are very good in skill games but meanwhile they are lucky in any single dice game .. Golden boys or what ????? :)

bouncer:  I'm not sure it's possible to cheat on BK when it comes to controlling what the dice do.  The dice rolls are controlled by the program on the server that Fencer is in control of.  I know I have played people who seem to get just the right rolls but I don't think they are really doing anything except being very lucky.  They probably think that of me when i get the perfect roll.

I remember once when my opponent kept getting doubles.  Tons of them.  I got ticked about it but didn't say anything.  After losing the game I went back and counted the doubles.  Turns out, I had more doubles than my opponent!
