Phony Backgammon
I'm tired of my stupid phony backgammon! On the way to work I read for 35 minutes on the bus, but on the way home I'm too tired, so usually I play backgammon on my phone. It's a total crock though. Whatever the most dramatic thing that could ever happen is happens 92% of the time, which is 8.5 times more than is statistically probably. Whenever I think, "oh, if i got double fours now I could cinch this thing," I get double fours. Whenever I think "I'll totally win this as long as he doesn't get a 2 and a 5," that's exactly what he gets. Over and over again, I count on it! I'm afraid it's training me to play too conservatively. What a pain in the ass.

I challenge you!
I knew a kid from when i was in LT, and he played backgammon on his computer a lot, and found that the computer was always very aggressive, and it tended to pay off. That is to say it turns out well to leave yourself open to getting hit, in order to have more chances to block out your opponent, etc.
