A predictable surprise

[peps...@gmail.com]

I really was quite surprised by XG's take here which is why I
rolled it out. The take is vindicated but it's extremely close,
so my surprise wasn't far wrong.
XG was vindicated by my terrible next shake of 53 but
I won the game anyway.
This money session against XG should impress both Tim
and Murat. After 4 games I'm leading by 6 points (12-6)
and with a PR of 3.74.

If I meet a random person who has played backgammon
and knows the rules, and I play an 11 point match against
them, I think the probability of me winning is > 99.99% but
I'm not sure.
