Board Game Arena

Please explain how you think BGA is profiting from the alleged over rolling of yahtzees and backgammon doubles? It would make no business sense . Business sense? Ok let's start from first principles. What, in your opinion is the basis for the business of BGA? What do you think the business model is ?

Honestly, as the current developer, absurd conspiracy theories without any proper evidence feel pretty much insulting, as they mean I somehow conspired against random BGA users for no reason. I don't even get paid for this, and the game codes are all open. Hi 1 - Where can someone find the open sou...

And what exactly would be the point of wasting time writing code to rig a Yahtzee game… favoring one random person over another random person? Well one possible reason might be to keep people coming back to the site. No players = no BGA . So keeping everything leveled as much as possible could be a...

Would love if someone could look up the odds of the arena game I conceded because BrokeGameArena is hilariously Broke. Odds don't apply to online gaming sites imo. None of them. Bingo, casino, online poker, whatever. They are imo ALL rigged or controlled in some way. I could be wrong of course but ...

Over 10 MILLION games of yahtzee have been played on BGA so of course there will be many many occurrences of triple yahtzees within that I've seen perhaps 2 or 3 times in my 1,200 or so games of yahtzee on BGA But how many real life games of yahtzee have I ever played? Certainly not 1,200. Probably...

Do you realise how astronomical the odds are of getting 3 Yahtzees in a real game of Yahztee!!! It's hugely unlikely.

Cheating with dice would require quite a sophisticate AI. You're right that it's hard to program a good one, and that's (one of the reasons) why it's not done. Neither AI nor cheating. No it wouldn't require any sophistication at all. Simple computer programming logic. 1. Am I behind in the match y...

Well well 3 years on and I see plenty of people are still complaining about the randomness of the game. I don't personally believe there exists a true random game of backgammon anywhere on the internet so it's not something to lay at BGA's door imo. Programming a strong backgammon AI is extremely ha...

The parsing of text is not the problem. I could knock up a routine in VB to do that no problem.

The problem is getting hold of the history data for say 20,000 games or more. Clicking on each individual game history one by one and manually cutting and pasting would take an eternity.

The means are there. We cannot do anything about your laziness. Oh for goodness sake be real. Loading up one game at a time, cut-pasting the game text, dumping it into a "program" to parse it and loading the actual numbers into a database. . . Would take a ridiculous number of hours to ac...
