Order of losses?

[peirce]

Wow, TUV swing of -52 from odds. Who’s getting the dice luck now…

[axis-dominion]

yep, it’s about time lol

i guess this all the more proves my point… at some point your luck streak should run out, and instead of playing cautiously to secure wins more consistently–and that’s the key word here–you’ll end up losing even in situations where you had the edge. like in this game if things had gone sideways for you instead of me.

trust me. i’ve seen guys like you who like to gamble… great players honestly, but they can’t win consistently enough to reach and stay at the very top. it’s a dice game but with a lot of skill you can still play it like chess and have consistent results, like chess.

@axis-dominion You’re using you dicing me in this battle to prove your point about gambling? Ok, let’s see how this plays out.

[axis-dominion]

you’re the one who attacked me, you made the decision to take that risk, which yes i consider gambling since 1) the overall odds were not favorable to you (along with a poor tuv average and 2) one-round strafe, while avg tuv ~0, is also risky… if you’re in a winning position, why take those risks?

[axis-dominion]

i reiterate, i would not be taking such risks, and my overall ranking/rating over time proves this out to be a more consistent approach to winning. i’m not alone, as that’s how all the top players play. only way if you’re going to have any kind of consistent results in a dice game.

[peirce]

@axis-dominion Because it wipes out your ground stack. The odds of it going that badly in both directions were infinitesimal.

Anyways, hopefully this will stop your complaints about dice, since that went far more poorly than anything has for the Allies all game.
