It's worth bearing in mind that any series of dice rolls is highly improbable to occur.

It's like hitting a golf ball, it's highly unlikely to land on this bit of grass or that bit of turf or even in this bit of sand but it's got to land somewhere.

It's only when you analyse a big set of data that it starts to get meaningful.

And agin, statistical analysis from only ONE game means nothing, and in particular not with such an event that if far from a miracle.

ok

So here's the next game

My first three dice rolls

ALL 63

That's a 1 in 5832

Only 48 dice rolls in the game

Yep nothing to see here folks, move on

Did you read the previous answer ??
ALL sequences are highly improbable to occur, no matter what the sequence consist of. You need to do analysis on AGGREGATED data .
You are complaining when there arent many doubles and when there are many doubles. What did you expect ? Some kind of results with a 0 variance ?

Indeed. Three sevens is the most common outcome of three dice rolls. And even that is 1 in 216.

14 throws, 8 of them doubles

Hm, so assuming that you are the better player (as you have claimed several times that you excel at this game), why is the better player getting three times as many doubles than the weaker player if rolls are to level the wins?

Rather big difference between 1 in 216 and 1 in 5832

Perhaps because it matters when in the game the doubles occur

So in the game, there was never a time when you were on the bar and your opponent had either the 1, 3, 4, or 5 blocked? By your theory that would have been the time to use those rolls, so they wouldn't have been sitting around at the end of the game.

Depends how you look at it. If it's 5-2, 4-3 and 6-1. That's 1 in 5832.

In fact any specific set of six dice throws is 1 in 5832.

Hit a golf ball and it's got to land somewhere.

This argument is puerile. Basically it says it doesnt matter how the dice fall because its all possible.

But it does matter
