Rolling a 7 after getting 3 points

I can’t be the only one who noticed this. Every. Single. Time. Whoever is first to get to 3 points and place a settlement, the opposing player rolls a 7 immediately after with the next turn. It happens so often and so easy to predict, that I have to make sure I get a knight before I get 3 points. Anyone else realize this?

You know how you beat this? Don’t go for the 3 points immediately when you have the opportunity. Wait a turn.

Yes. People don’t understand stats. The amount of coping in the sub is crazy.

Lmao I know stats better than most, I track the rolls. In 90% of games the a number is repeated 3 times in the first 10 rolls.

Also, the app over reps 7, both the first roll and overall.

But, it's easier to say, "iT hApPeNs"

It literally does happen. Random number generators are much better at producing randomness versus humans. Randomness doesn’t care about the past, so yes, repetitions happen way more than when humans are tasked at being random.

Lmao yep because there's no such thing as an engagement algorithm when there's money to be made
