Agreed! Algo is not good at all. Backgammon is also about luck but come on your algo is really not good. Review it!!!

Why do people keep calling a random function "algo"/"algorithm"? It's just a random function for 2 dice. You get 2 random numbers in the range 1-6 with each having same propability of 1/6. Calling it an algorithm is trying to make it sound like the rolls were somehow calculated from the game position. But they're not.

Randomness does not behave "smooth" because it has no memory. You usually won't observe every number coming up the same number of times in a single game. The chance to roll any double is 1/6 - but in most games you won't have exactly 1/6.

Over many games the portion of doubles of all 2-dice-rolls will be closer and closer to 1/6. The portion for each number will be closer and closer to 1/6. But you will always find some kind of patterns which randomly occur on a short run.
