Grim Reaper:

I completely disagree! In fact i couldn't disagree more.... The act of not allowing 5 consecutive 4's for example or a specific series of rolls, because it doesn't seem fair for one player, is completely out of the philosophy of a luck-based game.......!

A good random number generator is important for having a decent Backgammon game, but having a bad random number generator is not unfair as long as the system doesn't give advantage to a specific player. If there is a flaw at the RNG, but there is no advantage settled from before for a specific player, then everything is fair.
And as i want to believe and believe, that there is no advantage given to any player, then every hypothetical flaw giving too many consecutive doubles, is not unfair. Of cource as i've said, such a flaw doesn't give a decent Backgammon game.......

But i wonder, i have played 450+ Backgammon games here and i have never seen more than 2 consecutive doubles for a player........In fact i can even complain about too "normal" distribution of the rolls......And this is a fact in my opinion. Also it's a fact that there are no wild series of rolls and this is somewhat related to my other observation.

on the bar when there's an open point. Nine rolls on the trot and I can't get one of the 11/36 rolls that will let me in? That's beyond belief! But it "happens regularly", so let's fix that one please.

The probability for this is: (11/36)^9 = 0.002% so my goat sacrifices paid off....
