Stop skewing the die and let them actually be random

Post by King Derf »

So many games do I see what are statistically events that would only occur once in a thousand or ten thousand or recently almost once in 100 thousand events occur almost every game I play. Why can’t the dice actually just be random instead of obviously being manipulated to make games closer?

When an event has 100.000 different possible outcomes, then anything you get is result of 1 in 100.000.

It only means something if you predict it before you roll the dice. And even then it can happen.

If you choose what you were looking for after it already happened, it's just perception bias.

In general it is very likely for something unlikely to happen.

I once rolled a 6 sided die and landed on a 4. It was clearly rigged, since there was only a 1/6 chance of me landing on that number. :x So I rolled again and got a 3. So clearly rigged, there was only a 1/6 chance of me getting that too.
