Here is a game where I got to 3-5 in a 7 pt match bot is leading. I play a gammonish opening, get the bot on the ropes, double early and cruising for a spectacular doubled gammon to win the match when BAM!! :D the dice gods deliver a stunning blow and it was all downhill from there. But hey.. I didnt get to 1800+ by crying everytime the bots get lucky. My rating went down by 4 points and if I bounce back and win the next match, I am up 7 so plus 3 overall. This is how the ratings work against a high rated opponent. Even when you lose most of your games your ratings will still inch up if you can manage to extract a win here and there. Ok so this is not the worst bad luck roll but it is up there.I went from 72% favorite to win the match down to 30%. And yes I did YELL!! at the screen :D
