Here's an exchange with a Player who should know better but whose name I have deleted, in an unusual fit of generosity.  No prizes for guesssssing who it might be.

Player kibitzes: stupendous rolling there
You kibitz: yes : )
Player kibitzes: if you escape this it is a disgrace
Player kibitzes: tree mendous
Player kibitzes: lol
Player kibitzes: you have got to love fibs
Player kibitzes: you have anyway
You kibitz: plenty of time for things to go wrong
Player kibitzes: ha ha ha
Player kibitzes: they already have
Player kibitzes: more than once
Player kibitzes: although I didn't think you would throw it away like that
Player kibitzes: but then
Player kibitzes: fibs to the rescue
Player kibitzes: honestly
Player kibitzes: how many chances?
You kibitz: i'm wondering why you bother to play this game
Player kibitzes: I am fed up with this tonight
Player kibitzes: game after game given to my oppos by strange dice rolls
Player kibitzes: big doubles just when they are most harmful
Player kibitzes: hit after hit
Player kibitzes: that 36
Player kibitzes: jump the 5 prime
You kibitz: there's a thread on fibsboard, just for you
Player kibitzes: yeah
Player kibitzes: right
Player kibitzes: sh**
Player kibitzes: then I #### up with hitting the wrong button
Player kibitzes: you are right
Player kibitzes: I should give up
Player kibitzes: thankfully it didn\'t take
Player kibitzes: left one behind
Player kibitzes: you will still get them off first
You kibitz: is that a wish, or a promise?
Player kibitzes: inevitable

It may come as no surprise that GnuBG found neither of us got exceptional luck ~ though I couldn't help noticing that he had 5 rolls marked very lucky to my 1 (he said wryly, through gritted teeth).  Oh, and he won the match, the lucky so and so.

Nice fellow whiner there!

I used to whine that much and even more, but I found a solution: I gave away 100 rating pts so that I won't care anymore about my rating, then matches become just fun for me and now I whine very rarely. We're playing at FIBS to have fun, learn, communicate and find friends from all over the world. This is my new approach and hopefully I will never plung to that mire in future.

Have you ever lost a game where you were 99,9 % percent favorite? Well, that's nothing. One in thousand. It happens every day. But if you really want to know what is truely bad luck you should read about Roy Sullivan, the human lightning rod. He was struck by a lightning not less then seven times, yes, seven times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan

Roy suffered assorted losses during these encounters: toenails, eyebrows, hair, and eventually his nerve. After the fourth incident he started to believe some higher power was trying to kill him, according to a 1989  St. Petersburg Times article; the fifth time came after he tried unsuccessfully to outrun a cloud he thought was following him.

Amazing story! 

I'm thinking what would be his rating if he was playing in FIBS, lol

By the way, I think this thread is no more usefull. I opened up this forum to share a room with fellow whiners, (ZWAII, vic, ...). Back then I was a hilarious whiner and used to shout my whines every time. But I found a solution. I gave away 100 rating pts on purpose by dumping matches against a medicore, novice player and then started playing with bots. Playing with bots is really usefull for curing whinning syndrom, because you know your opponent doesn't smile when he gets lucky or when you gets unlucky. Also you can swear at him with every dirty word at your disposal (expet for bonehead who would swear at you back with 10 time worse words  ) . Then after a while, you will get accustomed with handling all the outcomes and scenarios and will become a mature player 

Now, I really don't remember the last time I whinned about the dice.

I'm sure vic appreciated the points that you dumped to him, but he still whines.
