Since I posted about a month ago, my doubles % in COB has actually gotten WORSE! I now have a 17.25% double rate over almost 90000 rolls in 3900 games. Statistically the chance of this is beyond ridiculous and is costing me a lot of games. I realize there are streaks of bad luck but COME ON. The ac...

There is not a single proof of rigged dice, but there's proof that a lot of people don't understand how probabilities work.

It absolu...

1. I know that Elo is based on who wins/loses only. I dont know how many more times I should try to explain the same... the game result determines the Elo - but who wins or loses is determined or influenced by personal style or approach in a lot of / most games!! the more so the more interaction th...

Even in high competitive events for games with little or no random elements, people say "good luck" before starting a match. "Luck" is not necessarily related to cards draws or dice rolls, but even for the opponent making mistakes or missing opportunities.

It's interesting that most discussions about probabilities are coming from Catan players not understanding how they work.
