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!

Thank you man.

It's nice to know that there IS someone out there who shares the same opinion as me.

You have said everything I wanted to say.
1. Hate quitters. People like that should not play if they can't handle losing.
2. hate cheaters even more. Same goes these people. Why play if you're going to cheat.
Quitters and cheaters are often the one and the same people. If their cheating scheme don't work, they quit.

Thanks for all your efforts and let's all hope and pray that those of us who love this game will be able to play it without playing against cheaters or quitters will come some day soon.

I think you have the wrong party. Check out the Black Panthers with night sticks at the 2008 polls. I don't believe they are Republicans. But I may be wrong. You might be right. Next time I go to the polls, I will ask them.

It is possible you're all are seeing a pattern in chaos.

One shouldn't quit just because your losing. Stay with it or resign.

This is not chaos theory. It's a simple probability problem with finite states (36). Read my stuff on pate 1, then read Tripp523 on page 2. He actually used cheat program.

Don't be so naive.

About quitting. Once a player delays rolling, I know he/she is consulting the cheat program. Then and only then I quit otherwise play or resign.
