Probability. This is fucking high school mathematics..It's always 50/50, no matter what happens.

the probability to roll either H or L is the same since there are 6 possible rolls, 3 are high and 3 are low. you dont have a higher chance of rolling a 4 anymore than you would roll a 2. whatever determines the roll of the dice on the server side; it would be near impossible to decipher, and if it were some sort of RNG...it would certainly be triggered by more than any one set of dice (making it impossible to construct a pattern).
//IMO
If you don't believe it's 50/50 then I don't really know what to say to you.
It's just 50/50 noobs, simple math!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just adding some background information.
In real life you can call it 50/50 but due to physics (the way you throw the dice, gravity and dice weight for example) it is not 50/50 IRL
Now, when you talk about the game, you can apply the same idea. Even at low level programming there is no 100% random number. Instead, it's called pseudorandom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandomness) because no matter how much you try to make it random, it always follows a pattern, the problem is that not everyone knows what that pattern is. There is a possibility that Cipsoft could have their own pattern to generate this "random" number.
Or...
Maybe I'm just wrong but only people like @DarkstaR may know it :p
About the post on other thread:
I said:
You are correct, a game can only use an algorithm to make it appear random, if you crack this algorithm you can work out which number will be rolled but i dont think enough computing power exists on earth to do this :P The same applies to real life.. the 50/50 odds are an illusion and not an illusion at the same time.. if you add up the rolls you will calculate a 50/50 chance which implies it is random but you and me both know there ARE deciding factors :P We live in a fucked up world but yeah H/L is 50/50 on a 6 sided dice, simple math :P
You can't do anything under 1 roll, but you can do more than one.
It's called probability. Next time you're online, go take some money to a dicebot and guess low 100 times in a row. 50/50 shot, right?
I'm a work on my iphone right now, so I can't really explain what I'm trying to say that we'll, but when I get home I will.
