Extreme OCTGN dice

Do you also feel that extreme dice are very common on OCTGN?
Its my (limited) experience. Online there are more extreme results.

Honestly I've never felt that. There is a tendency to always remember crazy rolls over average ones though IMO.

I used to think the same thing in the past, both amazing rolls or horrible rolls.

Lately, I feel Coshade is right and it's in your head.

If anything online dice are probably more random. Since in real life when you roll dice you might not shake them enough and might subconsciously decide to shake them more or less when the outcome of the roll is more important. I hate it when people just drop their dice onto the table without actually shaking them. It feels like cheating.

Just Cherry Picking and Confirmation Bias. They are far more random and fair than any dice you will throw by hand.
