Perhaps there should be a category: "indistinguishable from random play". This game can then be placed in the category right below that one: "you must have placed a large bet on your opponent".

In Las Vegas, Paul Magriel reached a position in which he had a double shot (20 rolls) in a critical point in the game. He wanted insurance and offered to bet even money with spectators that he would not hit the shot. There were takers. Paul rolled the 2 he needed and joked that maybe he should just not hit the checker in order to win the bet. But he chose the low ER play instead and paid up.
