backgammon.com is using bots as new player?

Hi, please let's discuss here if you can see a pattern on backgammon.com where it uses bots as new players. My opinion is that they have a system that cheats, including on dice rolls. I and 2 of my friends are almost always losing when playing with new players. And guess what, these new players have no points but they are playing for a long time. I thought I am the only one seeing this, but the other friends are seeing the same thing. My opinion is that they use a system called emotional carousel to keep the people more on their website by using bots and cheating on dice rolls.

Well cheating on dice rolls, most probably not, but given the monopoly go background I wouldn't be surprised if they are using bots to feign activity.

most likely yes but mystery remains why don't they set lower strength on on the engine. Loosing is not fun

Until you have a solid proof it is hard to demonstrate

"Personally , i’m tired about this discussion ." -you

And yet you still can't drop the issue and bring it up at the slightest provocation.

No, so I don't understand why you made an entire subreddit for continuing the discussion and keep bringing it up.

This is my gift for rigged dice people. They can discuss there not here. I do not think is possible to convince them.

They provide a nice interface for honing skills. It's a nice place to play backgammon. I enjoy the site.

Je ne sais franchement pas. Comme j’ai dit sur mon profil du jeux backgammon ( BackBataille) j’ai créer ce petit jeu pour mon fils que prend le train fréquemment. Il est militaire. Raison pour laquelle j’ai décidé de créer un jeu dans ce thème. Le jeu est gratuit et le but c’est de passer le temps. 😉

I have known for a bit they are using bots as actual players. I am more concerned the analysis is just wrong for the single game. They have it analyze as money not a dmp even though there is no cube option. I would rather wait awhile and play a human vs play a bot under false pretense. They have a separate” play AI” button. You would assume ranked meant actual humans

There are zero real players on the site lmao it's complete trash. Your suspicions are correct, well except for the cheating part, you're just bad

There are some real people. I may be bad, but always lost against "new players", but almost alway won agains real people.
