In Response To: because no one ever gets cheated at poker? *NM* (Chuck Bower)

I have been doing some research in an effort to try to save the future of backgammon.

The results of my research are quite disturbing.

For example:

Casinorip.com is a sponsor of Monte Carlo.

On rec.games.backgammon, somebody posted and claimed that over on Casinorip.com, their opponent started a game with double 4s then double 6s and that nobody can win against such dice. This same poor soul also cited another instance there where his opponent rolled double 6s twice in a row, despite only 1 in 1296 chance of this happening, had there been fair dice.

These are the facts, and they are beyond dispute.

Perhaps this is why attendance declined this year.
