Cheating die rolls!

[Gaxsax]

I'm sure the die rolls are biased to help players who are behind. It happens all time time that my opponent who is well behind rolls miraculous numbers to eventually win. What I'm arguing is that the die rolls are not random.It happens in dodgy casinos that the die rolls give house advangtage. It happens on BoardGameArena to assist losing opponents too!

If the dice help the losing player so much, then shouldn't you win more than 40% of your games?

There are current threads going on in the Can't Stop, Backgammon, and Yahtzee forums about this. Please have a look at those.

The short answer is that every time someone has claimed the random number generator is not doing its job, the claimant has been unable to provide statistical proof of it.

Yes, examples of unusual behavior have been posted. But there are a lot of games being played on BGA. Something that statistically should happen once every thousand die rolls easily happens once a day, if not once an hour.

Since all games (even those that a particular player wasn't involved in) can be replayed by any player, please support your claim with a statistical analysis of the situation that can be verified by others.

I have to say it's very to hard to treat this at all seriously from someone with only 10 recent games played on BGA.

Like, you don't even have enough of a sample size to in any way even be making this claim. (As the above posters have correctly pointed out, this isn't an issue either way)
