looking at results of 16 that get posted for GIB, it seems that there
is always one recipient of a free misplay, misdefense by GIB. Now what causes this?
is it poor programming? or Just luck of the draw for every bad result you get from GIB
it seems like you also receive an unjustified one from him also.

I'm sure it would be helpful if you could post examples instead of venting randomness.

How about the thread about the bot that led its singleton and then didn't ruff the return? That seems to be the kind of thing he's venting about, although in this case it wasn't just one player that got the misdefense, it was several (but not all).

GIB's declarer and defensive play is not deterministic, because of its use of random deals. It's been suggested that all tables playing a particular hand should initialize the random number generator the same, so that identical bidding and play should get the same results. But BBO is apparently trying to be more like real-world duplicate, where different players act differently, even given the same information. So just as we sometimes get gifts or fixes in f2f, it also happens with GIB.

I like that venting randomness
I am just making an observation that very every stupid thing that GIB does as your partner
it also does against you when defending.
I usually play about 52-78 boards a day in 26 board sets, on hands I shouldnt make or hands
the opps shouldnt make I like to see other results not just mine, usually its when I am looking
at other peoples results that I really notice the weird things that GIB does...over and out as
far as venting goes.
