As a backgammon player I fixed it: Since some months ago up today, in the first rolling of the players, always come same numbers. Like 5-1 vs 5-1, 4-3 vs. 4-3, 6-1 vs. 6-1, etc.

This is true fore most backgammon types (not for all).

I'm sure, most of backgammon players fixed this situation:

This is not a normal situation for randomized rolling computer dices.

Hope to hear for this matter..

TC: I, too, have noticed that the first two rolls are the same much more often than I would expect.  And I don't think it's just me remembering these occasions that is distorting my perception.  Any other players noticed this?

Resher: I even reported it in the BugTracker. Fencer's reponse: “It is a coincidence.” *shrugs*

Pedro Martínez: Definitely not a coincidence - if it's anything, it's a lot of coincidences!
I noticed it too.

pedestrian: Can you publish statistics that prove that it isn't coincidence... or perhaps Fencer can?

Pedro Martínez:  I can't provide statistics, but my impression is that the bias is well worth investigating.  I think it happens often enough that some of the opening rolls should be played sub-optimally here.

wetware: I've noticed this extremely too much this past 3 weeks.
the dice rolls that force me to leave men open, seem to coincide with my opponents rolling exactly what is needed to put me on the bar.
normally, I would take this with a grain of salt...but it happens so frequently lately,its become something I've been paying attention to.
