Surprising sequence of rolls (backgammon)

A common phrase while playing backgammon is "You gotta be ***** kidding me". Here is a true example of one of those moments. When white exits the bar with 6-5, winning chance for opponent is well over 99% but the dice gods intervene with an amazing sequence of consecutive doubles. This was a game played on www.fibs.com using 3DFiBs Backgammon free software. Visit the home page of 3DFiBs to download and play. Backgammon is a wonderful game and easy to learn for beginners. Way more fun than chess or checkers!!

Backgammon is not a simple game of chance. Even though dice are involved and there is a random element where luck can be a factor, there is lots of room for learning and improvement. Two important lessons you will learn when you study backgammon is (1) Never give up where there is still a chance. (2) It's not about winning or losing, it's about doing the best you can with what you got.

The dice numbers that the computer choses or itself has nothing to do with math, although - in general - it is true that it can happen to have specific results when exactly you need them.

In the case of 3dfibs, the program choses, in each case, its favorite roll numbers and uses them. This is not backgammon, it is grand cheating. Imagine they use this program in games where real money is at stake.

An expert backgammon player always appears to be "very lucky". This is not cheating. It is a result of making the best checker play for each dice roll.

@LouisXXIV ? Do you mean 0:51? Also there is nothing wrong with that play anyway...

[Cjur]

at 0:55 why did balck not take out his 2? That move made no sense.

its the backgammon gods punishing the incorrect play of the 4-2 at 0.41.

there is a legal "steal" in backgammon when you "steal a point" from your opponent. Its an advanced trick having to do with match score and getting your opponent to drop what should be a take thereby "stealing" a point. You can google it and read more if interested.

[maareyes]

not online. offline yeah they can steal pips steal your wallet or your drinks and smokes but not online. the software enforces the rules.

[beegburd]

oh so theres no way that my opponent can steal my turns?

[fight2Bfree]

the most likely reason for this is that you don't have a cube action decision because the cube is either dead or held by your opponent and none of the numbers you rolled are playable or there is only one move possible and the software forced you to make it.
