A money game I just finished with XG had the following rolls:
XG: 64
Me: 55
XG: 64
Me: 43
XG: 43
Me: 33
XG: 33
Then I doubled XG out.

What I strongly object to is XG's verdict that I was much luckier.
If you count the dice, you can observe that we both rolled exactly
the same pip count.
Furthermore, for the last two rolls, XG and I made exactly the same
shake, 43 and then 33. So it hardly makes sense to say that my rolls
were luckier when we were both rolling exactly the same thing!

Clearly, the only reason I won is that I played better, but XG is
just somehow too embarrassed to admit it.
