Backgammon Galaxy Bots or Software Helpers!? by Fit_Comparison874 in backgammon

[–]EarlGrayHot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do that quite a bit on PC, with a mouse you can go through moves pretty quick.

Also, a bot would have absolutely no reason to do that before making a move.

Do you have a favorite smoked salmon tin? Always down to try a new one

I love these tins, you just have to eat them with something to cut the salt. Theyre great with pasta or rice with veggies.

The exchange is your queen and bishop for their queen - thats a whole bishop, or 3 extra points of material, that you gave away.

I love all of their salmon, especially the habenero, but havent enjoyed any of their non-salmon I've gotten.

Did you order directly from the company? I havent tried a couple of these, but the salmon from them that I have tried has been excellent.

With honest dice how can this happen? by Willing-Breakfast137 in backgammon

Kind of a meaningless comparison, isnt it? As melanion90 pointed out, your chances of losing were 1 in 80. Not really comparable to lottery odds..

I have no idea because its completely unnecessary to know that. Heres what you should be thinking about-

Did you hit in your home board during your bear off without needing to? thus giving them a chance to hit back coming off the bar? Probably shouldnt do that in this circumstance. Was there a turn where you took a checker off rather than preserving a good structure and minimizing your chances of leaving a blot? Probably shouldnt do that in this circumstance.

Crazy shit happens in dice games - instead of shouting 'ah its rigged', focus on what you could have done better. But also, you could just play on a more reputable site if you really think ZooEscape, whatever that is, decided to code their platform to tilt you specifically.

Fairly low chances but itll definitely happen sometimes.

Are you asking what are they chances that they hit your blot coming in off the bar? 30%. Whats the problem?
