Timothy Chow: I don't think any bias will be introduced, assuming GNUBG does not deterministically select a particular sequence more often than others. For example, if each of the 7777 trials is an independent random trial, then it will give an unbiased estimate (i.e., the mean value of the estimate will be correct), or even if the 7776 trials are quasi-random and the 7777th trial is chosen uniformly at random, the estimate will still be unbiased.
Yes, I agree with this. I probably should have gone with variance.
