FAQ:

Q: It looks like PocketBG always rolls the dice it needs, is it cheating?

A: Good backgammon strategy is designed to maximize the good rolls for the playing side, and minimize the good rolls for the other side. In other words, after the best play, there will be less good rolls for the other side. If the other side doesnt realize what is happening, then it will seem like a never-ending streak of bad luck. Its not; its the consequence of good playing.
