SHG dice

In Response To: SHG dice (Jason Lee)

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't see the problem. The customers are getting what they want, and there's no deception going on.

Now maybe SHG is shooting itself in the foot financially by catering to a clientele that they ultimately don't want to cater to. But that's just an economic judgment that the managers of SHG have to make. If they decide that it's more profitable to keep the screwy dice then I see absolutely no problem with that.

There's someone on rec.games.backgammon who goes by the handle "rebcalale" who insists that FIBS dice are rigged. I've suggested that rebcalale try the screwy dice at SHG. Most likely rebcalale has ignored my suggestion, but I actually thought it was kind of neat to be able to refer someone like rebcalale to SHG and possibly have them be delighted that for once, someone has chosen to run an honest site where doublets don't occur unreasonably often.
