Is there a stop to Internet Backgammon cheaters?

Anonymous

So I have enjoyed playing Backgammon in the past, but nowadays is just IMPOSSIBLE. I am sure many others have noticed this. There are players out there that can control the dice at least for them, and some can even move more chips than the allowed by standard rules.

For example, not 10 minutes ago, I rolled 6 and 5, then the guy doubled me on his first roll, and got double three, then I rolled and I got 4 and 1, then he rolled and got 3 and 1, then I rolled and got 3 and 2, then he rolled and got double 5 eating my lonely chip in position 1 and covering position 3 from position 8. Do you call that a lucky roll? I call that an engineered roll, if you know Backgammon.

Yesterday, a guy moved 6 chips using a double 5. That same guy rolled 4 consecutive pairs.

Yesterday, I had 5 out of 6 positions occupied in my side and I ate one of the other player's chips. I did this repeatedly. The guy just lost 1 roll out of 4 chips I ate. He also had 5 of 6 positions occupied. He ate a chip of mine twice. I had to roll some 10 times before I could get out each time.

If you know Backgammon, you know this is NOT right. Losers out there have found a way to cheat, and that ruins the fun for us, the ones with a brain.

Microsoft, please put an end to this. Your Windows license is expensive, and I paid for it, and I expect to be able to enjoy all the features in the OS, and that includes the included Internet gaming. Roll a patch that can end this blatant cheating!

Hello everyone,

Please note that this thread has started to gain a slightly nasty attitude. I've already reported this to the moderators and it may be their choice to remove the offending posts and/or lock the thread. Please try to keep the posts in a friendly attitude and refrain from being rude to other users.

@Johnnyohness:

Please don't make attempts to disguise bad language within the forums. This is recognised as an offence breaking the rules of Microsoft Answers, and is still treated as offensive language.

It would appreciated if you could remove the offending language, however the moderators will probably do this when they see my report.

Best wishes and happy posting!

You are simply wrong, your post makes no sense and is not helpful at all.

Many of use W7P and if you aren't seeing cheating than you either being intellectually dishonest or you are one of the cheaters,....or are blind.

The people who use cheat programs could not play with out them. Once they are use to using them they are hooked and probably figure everyone is using them.

I have never used a cheat program, though I have been <redacted> enough to down load

a program,...but for what? B/G is a game of CHANCE and SKILL.

These people don't see it that way. They have turned it into a game of controlled rolling one to another.

If I have a streak of luck I have had people leave the game on me. I just wish they could see I am not a cheat.

If you don't use cheat ware (and unless your blind you can tell by the ebb and flow of the game) then there is not a chance you can win. If your a great legitimate player the cowards will roll doubles to catch up with you and prevail at any cost.

That's just the way it is.
