    I'm starting to think it's called BestBot because it always gets the best draws...

    Okay, I *know* Cesar uses a true randomizer for tile draws with this bot, but with these first couple games, and after the 10 or so games I've played, it seems like it draws better than Hasty o_o and bingoes a lot more

    BestBot's secret is not some cutting-edge AI algorithm, but rather it peeks when picking tiles out of the bag...
    My prediction: 35-65 -500 but I'm hoping it doesn't come true!

  • @iwersonsch5131

    I guess Bestbot expected that VAT spot to remain open because it always assumes the highest score+rack play for the opponent

  • @rohitg1529
    @rohitg1529 Před 9 měsíci +7

    Honestly given that you didn’t make any serious mistakes in the first 2 games, the first 2 games can be chalked up to incredibly lucky draws from the bot.
    I still think you win 53-47 with a leave of -100. Go humanity!!!

  • @axcertypo
    @axcertypo Před 9 měsíci +1

    one thing (r)AM does is it sets up DEF at 5G which is 34 points and still keeps Q options for the subsequent turn. Maybe the bot had a moment of clarity and realized GRIZES is getting removed from the NWL dictionary soon, quickly remembering on its next turn that it is indeed just a bot and literally doesn't care.

    • @axcertypo
      @axcertypo Před 9 měsíci

      and I guess BEF(I)T draws into QAT again a decent amount, QUAD and QADI N11 a lot, as well as blocking JO(S)H or JU(S)T and has better timing, but I still don't think that it's correct. Complicated pre-endgame so it's probably just cutting itself off too early when simulating

    It's tempting to just make my final prediction and say my first thought of 25-75 is my final prediction but I could definitely see myself changing my mind one way or the other so I'll wait until game 5 to make my final prediction. It's even possible that Mack loses all 5 games handily and then I'd have to make an even direr prediction... But yeah I think it's going to be an uphill battle to even win 25% of the time in a 100 game series against this thing. I played 2 games against it myself, go watch on my channel for those games. In the second game I played, I actually was close to beating it but it made a crazy play at the end which kindof impressed me on its endgame strategy.

    My prediction is 43-57 -313. I think you've gotten some pretty unlucky draws over the last two games and have been playing super well, but I still think BestBot will take it by a little

  • @AmaranthRBY
    @AmaranthRBY Před 9 měsíci

    RAM is probably blocking bingos front hooking ICKY and going downwards which could maybe give you comeback chances if you draw two back to back. Even after RAM you might have ways to get back to back bingos through the floaters in ALLEGERS or AIRLINE but they look much more difficult to fit on the board.
    BEFIT though, I got nothing. It'll be interesting to see how it does in closer endgames and if it still does these oddball plays, or if they're just things that come up when it calculates 99.2% vs 99.5% win odds or something like that

    Sorry if stupid question but what do you mean by spread?

    • @HamStar_
      @HamStar_ Před 9 měsíci +1

      Total score difference - spread is the number of points you win or lose by. For instance if you win two games by 50 points each but lose one game by 200 points, your record would be 2-1 (in your favor), but your spread would be -100 (100 in favor of your opponent).
