Is the craps simulator on this website set to be a realistic representation of expected outcomes or is it set for the thrower to have a better
chance to win??

I would assume it was random. If it wasn't, he better not tell the forum as it would likely cause a revolt.

I was about to make a thread about this. It seems the results are much more biased in favor of the don't pass better on the simulator. I've probably simulated 150 shooters with it on and off just for fun and I only had like one person make 3 points. It seems the 7 never shows on a come out roll, but always shows up once a point is made. If the results of it were close to what I experienced in real life, I doubt I'd be much of a craps fan. Just wondering if it's my bad luck or has everyone else felt that same way?

I also do better on the Dark Side, but the real HA is better also.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

It uses JavaScript's Math.random() method, such as...

Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1

...for each die.

Is it unrealistic because it doesn't simulate biased dice?



LOL

Maybe this is the way the Gold Coast would program the game? ;)
Math.floor(Math.random() * 5.9) + 1
