Dice Cheater Busted

I got an e-mail from Patrick Gibson with an article about a guy from the country of Georgia getting busted in a big European tourney this weekend using rigged dice. "The twos had been changed expertly to fives".

They say he may have been cheating for a year or more and had won one big tourney in Europe last summer.

Hell, occasionally I need a two; but I guess a lot of 5-5's are beneficial too.

I would like to think I would notice if a guy never rolled a 2 a single time in a match.

Also, what happened to mixing dice? Guess we'd better all examine them closely from now on.

Anyway, the article was embedded and not linked, but I will forward to anyone who wishes. Patrick said he found out about it on the Backgammon Social Network.
