Here is an interesting video that shows a very unusual event that had only a 1 in 17 million chance of happening.
I am a fan of the game of backgammon, love to play it and watch it. Here is a few minutes from a match between world champion Masayuki Mochizuki (“Mochy”) and Alexandra Knupfer from the 2019 New York Metro Open a couple weeks ago.
The incredible thing is that for about a 2-minute stretch as highlighted in the 3 minute video, Alexandra (the player at the bottom of the screen) rolls two, tournament-quality “precision” dice in a lipped cup twelve times in a row and neither dice rolls a 4, 5, or 6. You don’t have to know how to play backgammon to understand what is going on in the video as far as the dice rolling. If you know how to play, you’ll note that strategically, she never had to move her two back checkers and “break” her board to the 3 point. Really incredible.
The odds of 24 rolls of the die yielding no 4s, 5s, or 6s is 1 in 17,000,000.
And actually, these types of things happen in backgammon quite often. Every player has their own stories. Things that have a million to 1 chance of happening happen every day. Just wish more theists realized it.
