Match file attached, and screenshot showing the Herds dismal bear off..where 1's ruled the roost 

Well done Julia - that was a right thrashing!

yes many congrats Julia and thx Diane for facilitating and all for votes and comments.
Julia if you can suggest/recommend a new Guest for the herd, can you message Diane, clem or myself.... cheers

Wow - what a finish... Delighted, of course, but the dice knew which side they were on!

Congratulations, and welcome back to our side.  It's clear that we need you.  (c:

The Herd played a respectable 5.46 PR for an "Expert" rating from XG (we need to get under 5 to be rated "World Class")  Julia played an amazing 2.22 PR or "World Champ" rating.


Overall, we threw away .666 inequity, or about two-thirds of a single game, while Julia only wasted .270 or about a quarter of a game.  Meanwhile Diane's dice sucked a full 3.46 in equity away from us.  Sometimes you're outplayed, sometimes the dice don't cooperate, and sometimes it's both. This match it was both.
