The site favors some players while preventing others from winning.

Post by ataliadeny »

I've long suspected that BGA favors one player over the other. I've played against myself many times, and especially in Solstice, I see that one of my accounts is immediately given a more favorable set of tiles. Even if I really wanted to, it's impossible to win, considering that I'm favoring myself. So, this game is truly random in itself, plus the site gives better odds to one player. When I win 3-4 times in a row, I don't think I'm a good player; I think I'll most likely lose the next 4-5 games, and that's often exactly what happens. Has anyone else noticed this pattern?

Yes, I have noticed the pattern that sometimes I am more lucky than other times.

Thank you for the answer. I was playing with myself to see how it all works, to try different strategies, and bga for sure not working fair and its not random as in real life. I understand that moderators will block me soon, but im really tired of mechanics of the site. Wish everyone good luck and see you from another account 😂

Oh but my observation goes beyond BGA. Even in real life there are lucky and unlucky times for me when i play at the table with my friends. As if it was random somehow.

BGA has this weird pattern where it makes everything random. Clearly, you've hacked BGA to favor you over yourself, how did you do it? :o :lol:
