I have been playing here for 10 years now, many as a subscriber, more fool me! This is the last time I will pay these people. My bad luck cannot be random. I have a clear and obvious patterrn of wins and loses, far too often to be just bad luck. How is it that I can have a run of 'luck' and get to just over 200 points and then after the next 20 games over 3 days I am down to 0 points? This happens so often. I used to enjoy this game but it is just driving me potty now. Can someone suggest a fairer game?

Good morning scope, I recently stumbled over an older but very interesting post from a FlyOrDie operator, which might be of interest for you as well. The man put a lot of time and effort into this posting. I find it excellent. Here -->

As someone who has played 600+ backgammon games, I have to agree that the system is flawed. Even when I'm forced to split or when splitting is the best move, my opponent gets a winning roll (such as a double) that puts me on the bar and makes it difficult for me to re-enter, even if their previous position wasn't good 80% of the time. All we have to do is just hope for the best and not lose a gammon lol.
The numbers are not random. Several coders have spoken out about the lack of randomness. Of course, they work for different companies now after they were let go.
